Fire increases soil moisture losses but accelerates vegetation water uptake—and leaves ecosystems containing plants with less control of their water content. Great global analysis using remote sensing data and led by PhD student Martin Baur

I am a bit behind and realized EGU abstract submission is open! If you're interested in Pollution in Peatlands submit an abstract to our session. If you work on any pollutant (natural or human) in peatlands we want to hear about your work! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessionp…
