From: Advancing Investigation and Physical Modeling of First-Order Fire Effects on Soils
Vertical cross sections (derived from X-ray computed tomography) of Manitou Experimental Forest soil. Black areas of the photographs correspond to soil pore space. The figure on the left corresponds to the upper 0.05 m of the soil from an area unaffected by the slash-pile burn. The figure on the right was obtained from a sample of the soil beneath the slash-pile burn. Cross sections have been calculated from about 200 horizontal slices. The horizontal length of each image is about 2 mm. The pixel resolution is 18 µm.
