Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, background): “Extreme fire events release large quantities of carbon to the atmosphere (Page et al., 2002) and may have long-lasting consequences on vegetation composition (Bond et al., 2005), soil structure, hydrophobicity and nutrient availability (Certini, 2005) with presumable multiple indirect and lagged…”

Smouldering Combustion Phenomena in Science and Technology (2009, background): “Once ignited, they are particularly difficult to extinguish despite extensive rains or firefighting attempts and can persist for long periods of time (weeks and up to years; [6], [62], and spread over very extensive areas of forest and deep into the soil.”
Driving forces of global wildfires over the past millennium and the forthcoming century (2010, methodology): “The GISS simulations capture changes seen in proxy-network reconstructions of land-area surface temperatures relatively well, especially in the extratropics, including the temperature fluctuations between the 15th–18th century Little Ice Age and the Medieval Climate Anomaly (6), though the overall a”
Reconnecting to the Biosphere (2011, background): “Page et al. (2002) estimated that the widespread El Niño-related wildfires of Borneo in 1997 released between 0.81 and 2.57 Gt of carbon to the atmosphere, equivalent to 13–40% of the mean annual global carbon emissions from fossil fuels.”

Making REDD work for the poor : a poverty environment partnership (PEP) report (2008, background): “For example, in Indonesia peat land emissions are significant (Page et al. 2002), but only peat land under forest is likely to be included in a crediting mechanism that uses partial accounting.”
