Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ash production approach reflects natural fire dynamics, in which fires consume heterogeneous patches of vegetation, and the resulting ash is derived predominantly from the dominant plant species in the burned area.

    “This approach reflects natural fire dynamics, in which fires consume heterogeneous patches of vegetation [46], and the resulting ash is derived predominantly from the dominant plant species in the burned area [47].”
  • The resulting ash was black, characteristic of incomplete combustion in low-intensity fires, which retain a higher proportion of organic compounds than ash from high-intensity wildfires.

    “The resulting ash was black, characteristic of incomplete combustion in low-intensity fires, which retain a higher proportion of organic compounds than ash from high-intensity wildfires, in which greater volatilization of organic elements occurs [47,48].”
  • When deposited and incorporated into soil, typically alkaline and nutrient-rich ash can induce changes in soil pH and represents a nutrient flux to soils.

    “When deposited and incorporated into the soil, the typically alkaline and nutrient-rich ash can induce changes in soil pH and represents a nutrient flux to soils (the so-called 'fertilizing effect') (Bodí et al., 2014;Maass, 1995).”
  • The main contributor to ash is usually vegetation, and ash plays an important role in mobilizing and redistributing C in the landscape after fire.

    “This is because the main contributor to ash is usually vegetation and highlights the important role of ash in mobilizing and redistributing C in the landscape after fire (Bodí et al., 2014;Santín et al., 2012).”
  • Wildfire ash was largely overlooked as a topic of research for several decades, partly due to its high mobility and rapid redistribution after fire, which makes it more challenging to collect than other post-fire components.

    “For several decades, and despite its ubiquitous presence and potential importance, wildfire ash was largely overlooked as a topic of research.This is partly due to its high mobility, and hence rapid redistribution after fire, which makes wildfire ash more challenging to collect than other components of the post-fire environment, such as fireaffected soils or the eroded sediment (Bodí et al., 2014)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
