Abstract:Peatland wildfires present challenge to the mitigation of climate change due to the large amount of ancient carbon emission. Once ignited, the organic soils in peatland can burn for a long periods (weeks to months) and are difficult to extinguish. Peat fire is governed by smouldering combustion which is the slow, low temperature, flameless burning of charring porous fuel, and the most persistent type of combustion phenomena. The detection and monitoring of peatland wildfires are often conducted by remote sensi… Show more
