Burning poop: Chemical composition and carbon dynamics of large herbivore dung burned in African savanna fires
[Background] Fire and herbivores are essential to savanna ecosystems, consuming vegetation and recycling nutrients. Fire volatilises some elements and makes others readily available through ash, while herbivores redistribute nutrients via dung (excrement, faeces).
