In the Amazon, soils are primarily nutrient-deficient, and fires change their fertility, structure, and carbon storage. Wildfires introduce pyrogenic carbon, a stable form of carbon, into the soil, but the long-term implications of this process are still being investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Research Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>How does fire impact the distribution and stability of soil carbon in regrowing secondary forests?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What role does pyrogenic carbon play in long-term carbon storage?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do environmental factors, such as climate, soil type and vegetation regrowth, influence these processes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Importance of This Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lorena&#8217;s research will provide valuable insights into the resilience of Amazonian ecosystems and the potential for secondary forests to sequester carbon. By understanding the fate of soil carbon after wildfires, we can better inform conservation efforts and develop strategies to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2583\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project4-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2593\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/ted-feldpausch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/257\/2025\/03\/Lorena_Manaus_Amazon-PyroCarbon-Project2-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Image: Soil samples collected to analyse post-fire changes in soil carbon (photo credit: Lorena Fleury)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Amazon rainforest, an important carbon sink, faces increasing threats from deforestation and wildfires.
