Incorrect interpretation of carbon mass balance biases global vegetation fire emission estimates

Vegetation fires contribute to global carbon emissions, but uncertainty exists due to inconsistencies in the treatment of post-burn combustion. Here, it is shown that the ‘consumed biomass’ approach overestimates emissions by 4%, which can be corrected using an alternative ‘burnt carbon’ method....
