Increasing concern over air pollution in general in the United States has increased the impetus for effective management of smoke originating from prescription fires. This paper describes a new Guidebook that gives interim suggestions for smoke management under conditions relevant to Southern forestry. A more detailed discussion is presented on fuels, fire behavior, emissions, and on smoke transport and dispersion, in this paper.
