Wildfires are a growing threat due to climate change, and they often leave unburned forest patches called fire refugia. While young forests in some regions burn more severely, preliminary observations in central British Columbia suggest that managed…

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy was used to probe water dynamics in microcrystalline cellulose. In this study, the variation of the dielectric constant of water in microcrystalline cellulose samples with moisture contents between 2.65% and 16.73…
