Peat fires in the Northern high latitudes release a lot of carbon into the air. A new model called INFERNO-peat was created to better understand and predict these fires. By using data on peat properties like moisture and density, the model can estimate how much area is burned and how much carbon is emitted. INFERNO-peat improves the accuracy of predicting peat fires in the high latitudes, capturing more burnt area and carbon emissions compared to previous models. This new model helps us better understand and prepare for the impact of peat fires on the environment.
