Wildland fire is a major global driver in the exchange of aerosols between terrestrial environments and the atmosphere. This exchange is commonly quantified using emission factors or the mass of a pollutant emitted per mass of fuel burned. However, emission factors for microbes aerosolized by fire have yet to be determined.

- - The text discusses the ecological impacts of wildland fires, particularly focusing on how they affect tree mortality, which is important because trees support various biological services.
- - Researchers created the Fire and Tree Mortality (FTM) database that includes detailed records from over 164,000 individual trees affected by prescribed fires and wildfires in the U.S. between 1981 and 2016.
- - This database serves as a tool for assessing fire mortality models, improving pre- and post-fire decision-making, and identifying areas where further research is needed regarding fire-induced tree death.
