Although forest fires are one of the main natural disturbance types in boreal forests, there is limited information regarding surface fires (dominant in Northern Europe), and how surface fires of different severities could affect post-fire soil greenhouse gas emissions.

IMPORTANCEDespite the significant impacts of wildfires on forest ecosystems, most existing studies have largely focused on boreal and Mediterranean coniferous forest types, with limited research on the impacts of coniferous and broadleaf forest types in subtropical karst regions.
