Minor changes in soil organic carbon and charcoal concentrations detected in a temperate deciduous forest a year after an experimental slash-and-burn

Anthropogenic fires affected the temperate deciduous forests of Central Europe over millennia.Biomass burning releases carbon to the atmosphere and produces charcoal, which potentially contributes to the stable soil carbon pools and is an important archive of environmental history.The fate of charcoal in soils of temperate deciduous forests, i.e.th
