The impact of tropical land-use change on downstream riverine and estuarine water properties and biogeochemical cycles: a review

Ecological Processes

Table 5 A summary of the effects of wildfire or burning on the downstream riverine and estuarine water properties. The arrows before the water properties indicate that the subsequent water properties increased (↑), decreased (↓), or did not change (→). See the list of abbreviations for the water properties
