Optimized forest carbon sequestration&Better homeland

“…Fire can not only directly decompose forest organic matter into inorganic matter, water vapor and carbon dioxide, causing greenhouse gas emissions, but also indirectly alter forest productivity, affecting vegetation structure and composition, soil properties, and nutrient cycling processes, thereby affecting forest ecosystem carbon cycling. Correctly assessing the impact of fire on the carbon sequestration capacity of forests will help to develop forest management plans tailored to local conditions [9].…”
