'The world's largest forest fire, which burned from September 1982 until july1983 in eastern Kalimantan, the Indonesian sector of Borneo, almost certainly caused the extinction of several species of plants and animals. It will probably result in a long-term decline in food…

Losses to the atmosphere of our nutrient elements, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg), caused by slash burning a logged-over mixed forest coupe in the Florentine Valley in Tasmania, were estimated by weighing and sampling the slash on marked plots…

In Canada about 1.3 million hectares (M ha) of forests are destroyed by wildfires each year, and about 63% of all these fires are man-caused. During the 1980 and 1981 fire seasons, however, about 10 M ha were damaged; estimated annual emissions from forest fires were 224 million…
