Effects of fire on dissolved carbon and greenhouse gas production rates and their temperature sensitivity in subalpine wetlands

Wetlands comprise only 5–8% of land surface but hold 20–30% of estimated soil carbon globally. However, wetlands are also significant sources of greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Disturbances such as wildfires can alter the balance between carbon storage and greenhouse gas production in wetland systems; therefore, it is crucial to understand wetland response and recovery after wildfires. While wildfires are known to significantly impact ecosystem function through ch
