Wild fires turn millions of hectares of vegetation into charcoal each year. An international team of researchers led by Thorsten Dittgar from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and Rudolf Jaffé from Florida International University’s Southeast Environmental Research Center in Miami has now shown that this charcoal does not remain in the soil, as previously thought. Instead, it is transported to the sea by rivers and thus enters the carbon cycle. The researchers had analyzed water samples from all over the world. They demonstrated that soluble charcoal accounts for ten percent of the total amount of dissolved organic carbon.

The increase in CO concentration leads to a previously unknown feedback mechanism with water evaporation from plants. Due to the increase in the greenhouse gases, leaf pores close earlier: less moisture is evaporated by the plants and there is overall less water vapour. These are the results of climate scenarios tested by researchers around a team lead by J. Lelieveld from the Max Planck Institutes for Chemistry and Meteorology. The increase in CO2 thus affects cloud formation, which aggravates climate change.
In future, the researchers want to extend their analysis to the Amazon to test the
