From the text ... 'Wilderness management is important to a large segment of the public. The 1988 fires showed that clearly. It is also clear that fire is an integral part of the wilderness. Educating the public, based on solid research, will be an important component of…

The challenge for resource managers is to understand and appreciate the wilderness resource. We must embrace a philosophy that allows natural fire to play its natural role, within social and political realities. As we alter the natural processes, we alter the very essence of…

We know that the natural fire regimes of park and wilderness ecosystems are extremely variable. Past management practices (primarily fire exclusion), other resource constraints (endangered species, air quality), location and shape of preserves, and new natural fire policy…

Samples (170) of biomass combustion smoke were obtained in Brazilian tropical rainforest and savannah during August-September 1992. Speciation of the ionic fraction of fine (d > 2 :m) and coarse (15 :m > d > 2:m) mode particles was achieved using ion chromatography, and…

Prescribed fire is used to treat roughly 5 percent (1,500,000 acres) of Florida*s wildland each year. Superimposed on this fire-maintained landscape is one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Much of this population increase is a result of immigration from…

Burned and unburned sites (4 ha each) of black and white spruce in interior Alaska were studied in 1993 and 1994 within and adjacent to an area burned by wildfire in 1990. The main purpose of the research was to quantify fuel consumption and carbon release during the fire.…

As part of the FOS-DECAFE experiment at Lamto (Ivory Coast) in January 1991, various aerosol samples were collected at ground level near prescribed fires or under local background conditions, to characterize the emissions of particulate matter from the burning of savanna…

Fire strongly influences carbon cycling and storage in boreal forests. In the near-term, if global warming occurs, the frequency and intensity of fires in boreal forests are likely to increase significantly. A sensitivity analysis on the relationship between fire and carbon…
