Fires contribute warming release greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, black carbon, identified as SLCP (short-lived climate pollutant). third one several complex processes lead degradation across globe. Opportunities exist incorporate into projects or approaches. Two examples highlighted here. Transdisciplinary communication collaboration needed address issues related use change.
