Soil Temperatures During Forest Fires and Their Effect on the Survival of Vegetation
Beadle NC. 1940. Soil Temperatures During Forest Fires and Their Effect on the Survival of Vegetation. Journal of Ecology. 28(1):180-192
In the following account, a practicable and simple method for measuring soil temperature is described, and data are given showing the temperatures at various depths below the surface in wet and dry soils. The survival of the vegetation is discussed with special reference to lignotubers to the resistance of seeds to high temperatures.
