From the Conclusion: 'This analysis has presented a methodology for calculating values-at-risk, arguing that a market approach to assessing value is the most objective approach. Some resources are classified as 'intangible,' thus precluding a market-derived evaluation. These…

Three years of air quality data (1974—1976) were evaluated, with emphasis on total suspended particulates, in relation to the associated specific meteorological conditions, and to the observed smoke reports for the south Florida region. Characteristic weather situations were…

Properties of bushfire smoke: the reduction in visibility resulting from prescribed fires in forests
Particulate concentrations in the smoke from a large prescribed fire in an Australian forest have been measured. Little agglomeration of the particles took place while the smoke was blown downwind. Using this information a simple model allows calculation of the minimum…

Most western state laws pertaining to prescribed burning do not specifically deal with range rehabilitation. Prescribed burns require a burning permit issued by the State Forester, or his equivalent, prior to ignition during closed fire seasons. Air quality standards have been…

It is now well established that fire plays an important part as a periodic disturbing influence on many of the forest types of North America. The species composition of such forests has undergone selection as a result of the regularity of fires during their history so that the…

Summary ... 'There are several different types of forest fires, each with distinct sets of emission characteristics. Emission factors and rates vary widely with fire behavior and fuel conditions. Wherever possible, they should be expressed as ranges instead of single average…
