Factors influencing particulate concentrations resulting from open field burning

A field investigation was initiated in the summer 1978 to quantify the influence of meteorological factors, ignition method, and fuel conditions on the behaviour of smoke plumes from open field burning. Measurements of air quality and meteorological conditions were performed…

Wildland fires, air quality, and smoke management

Emissions from prescribed fire vary geographically. In the Northeast, for example, prescribed fires are rare. In other sections, e.g., the southern Coastal Plain, meteorological conditions, terrain, and light fuel loads minimize atmospheric concentrations of emissions. The…

Fire and insects in pine culture of the Pacific Northwest

Man began an intensive program to keep fire out of the woods about 70 years ago. Periodic ground fires once common in western pine forests were reduced, and a stand type that had been open, thrifty, and fairly resistant to wildfires lost those characteristics. The current status…

An inventory of particulate emissions from open sources

Open sources are those stationary sources of air pollution too great in extent to be controlled through enclosure or ducting. Open sources of atmospheric particles include: wind erosion, tilling, and prescribed burning of agricultural cropland; surface mining and wind erosion of…

Nitrogen oxides from burning forest fuels examined by thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis

Twelve forest fuels that varied widely in nitrogen content were burned in a thermogravimetric system, and nitrogen oxide production was analyzed by chemiluminescence. The effects of fuel nitrogen concentration, available oxygen, flow rate, and heating rate on nitrogen oxide…

Duff reduction by prescribed underburning in Douglas-fir

Predictive equations for duff reduction and mineral soil exposure by prescribed fire are presented. An explanation is suggested for the dependence of duff combustion on surface fuel combustion. Surface fire duration and fuel moisture estimates of the National Fire-Danger Rating…

Estimates of gross and net fluxes of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere from biomass burning

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…
