Tropical peatland fires play a significant role in the context of global warming through emissions of substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. However, the state of knowledge on carbon loss from these fires is still poorly developed with few studies reporting the associated mass…

Humans use combustion for heating and cooking, managing lands, and, more recently, for fuelling the industrial economy. As a shift to fossil-fuel-based energy occurs, we expect that anthropogenic biomass burning in open landscapes will decline as it becomes less fundamental to…

A larger amount of carbon is stored in forest ecosystems than in the entire atmosphere. Thus, relatively small changes in forest carbon stocks can significantly impact net carbon exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere. Changes in forest stocks can result from various…

Total particulate matter (PM) emissions were estimated for recent fires (1979-1990) and the presettlement period (prior to 1935) in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (SEW) in Idaho and Montana. Recent period emissions were calculated by l0-day periods for surface fire and crown…

Prescribed fire as a social issue becomes automatically an ecological, political, and economic issue. Any issue that affects us socially we take to the political arena, and its final resolution will involve the costs of different avenues to resolving the issue. Unfortunately,…

Some of the highest tree mortality in the country is occurring in the forests of the Blue Mountains in northeastern Oregon. The frequency and magnitude of wildfire in the four national forests (six million acres) which comprise this area has increased dramatically over the last…

Wildland fires are an integral part of many ecosystems across North America; and these ecosystems often exhibit adaptations to periodic fire. These fire-adapted ecosystems are often termed fire-dependent, if recurring disturbances by fire are essential to the functioning of the…

Boreal fires have immediate effects on regional carbon budgets by emitting CO2 into the atmosphere at the time of burning, but they also have legacy effects by initiating a long-term carbon sink during post-fire vegetation recovery. Quantifying these different effects on the…
