The abstract for the second reference (from April 2023) appears to be more relevant to what I was wondering about (how did you know?! , but it sounds like the research was more focused on carbon uptake after a burn. I would need to do more reading, and unfortunately general laziness and a desire to avoid more depressing climate related info means I probably won’t.

I can’t help but expect that escaping methane would accelerate and intensify wildfires. Could also make it harder to extinguish fires after the main event has occurred… like keeping those festering underground fires burning a long time.

Thanks again for the information!
