Table 1: Factor differences from air baselines (baselines = 1.0) for pristine and forest soils burned in the 2010 Shultz fire. A few acres section of the Shultz fire suffered less overall damage and is shown as the Shultz fire (minor). In the burned forest, the CO2 soil level is 0.70 that of the pristine forest soil and methane is 0.60 of the pristine level.
