From the summary ... ' In summary, the results of these large scale fire tests, conducted under marginal burning conditions, were negative; but, paradoxically, I find this very heartening, for we can now be much more confident in our predictions of fire behavior to be expected…

'During the past year, burning treatments on the Miller Creek Block were essentially completed. Preparations for moving to Newman Ridge, on the St. Regis District, this spring are well underway. Current plans call for 16 instrumented fires on Newman Ridge during 1969 to conclude…

Long-term effects of air pollutants in Finland have been studied by analyzing needle litter of pine (Pinus silvestris L.) and spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) in 13 stands from the years 1958 to 1982. A considerable annual increase in elemental concentrations was observed in the…

A combined theoretical and experimental study has been performed of the behaviour of firebrands in a turbulent, swirling natural convection plume. For the theoretical treatment, firebrands were idealized as spheres of constant density, the burning rate a constant for each type…

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate how both mineral soil and moisture content affect the smoldering combustion in forest duff. Peat was used to represent the fermentation and humus horizons (Oe and Oa soil horizons) of a coniferous forest floor nominally called…
