A field study on grass field burning was conducted in the Willamette Valley of Oregon during the summer of 1965. Approximately 230,000 acres of grass field are burned in the valley during August and September. Serious air pollution problems result from this burning. The purposes…

Samples were collected from smoke clouds above forest fires, and the sizes of the smoke particles were determined. Most particles appeared to be approximately 0.1 in diameter. © Institute of Foresters of Australia. Abstract reproduced by permission.

A field technique for evaluating winds aloft is described. It can be used at remote places-even at the site of a wildfire. It has proved accurate as any known single theodolite technique, and is time-saving because the winds aloft are evaluated in miles per hour from direct…

Burning experiments in the laboratory on samples of forest floor (L + F + H organic layers) from an old-growth Tsuga heterophylla/Pseudotsuga taxifolia forest, indicated a 25-64% loss of N from the forest floor at temperatures of 300-700 C. Burning increased the N concentration…
