Impact of harvesting on forest environments and resources: a review of the literature and evaluation of research needs

This review summarizes the available literature relevant to British Columbia concerning the influences of harvesting and post-harvest practices upon the forest environment and resources, and points out significant gaps in knowledge where research would be useful. This will aid…

Bush-fire smoke and air quality

From Experimental Results ... 'Smoke samples were collected in a small aircraft, which was flown through the smoke columns from a series of large prescribed fires in the forest areas of Western Australia in the spring of 1970. The smoke particles were deposited on air-filters or…

Air movements above large bush-fires

From the Summary ... 'The behavior of the convection column above a large fire is thus characterized by (1) marked inflow of air at the lower levels, and (2) rapid ascent of hot air at the higher levels, whereby mixing with the surrounding atmosphere is reduced. The height to…
