Carbon budgets of an upland blanket bog managed by prescribed fire. (2010)
Journal Article
Clay, G., Worrall, F., & Rose, R. (2010). Carbon budgets of an upland blanket bog managed by prescribed fire. Journal of Geophysical Research, 115(G4), Article G04037. https://doi.org/10.1029/2010jg001331

[1] This study presents the carbon budget of a blanket bog, North Pennines, UK, subject to grazing and prescribed burning for vegetation management. The budget considers both fluvial and gaseous carbon fluxes and the following uptake and release path... Read More about Carbon budgets of an upland blanket bog managed by prescribed fire..

Compositional changes in soil water and runoff water following managed burning on a UK upland blanket bog (2010)
Journal Article
Clay, G., Worrall, F., & Fraser, E. (2010). Compositional changes in soil water and runoff water following managed burning on a UK upland blanket bog. Journal of Hydrology, 380(1-2), 135-145. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2009.10.030

This study examines the effect managed rotational burning has on soil water and runoff water compositions at the end of a 10 year burning cycle and into the year following a managed burn. This study includes aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, magnesiu... Read More about Compositional changes in soil water and runoff water following managed burning on a UK upland blanket bog.

Hydrological responses to managed burning and grazing in an upland blanket bog (2009)
Journal Article
Clay, G., Worrall, F., Clark, E., & Fraser, E. (2009). Hydrological responses to managed burning and grazing in an upland blanket bog. Journal of Hydrology, 376(3-4), 486-495. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2009.07.055

The management of the UK uplands by rotational burning and grazing is a widespread practice that aims to control the development of vegetation in order to create suitable habitats for grouse and sheep. By modifying the above ground biomass it is poss... Read More about Hydrological responses to managed burning and grazing in an upland blanket bog.

Effects of managed burning upon Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in soil water and runoff water following a managed burn of a UK blanket bog (2009)
Journal Article
Clay, G., Worrall, F., & Fraser, E. (2009). Effects of managed burning upon Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in soil water and runoff water following a managed burn of a UK blanket bog. Journal of Hydrology, 367(1-2), 41-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2008.12.022

The burning of heather and grass to maintain a mosaic of different aged vegetation stands is a widespread management practice in the uplands of the UK. However, there is concern that burning also releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into drinking...
