Gaseous and particulate emissions from burning in the boreal forest

Biomass burning is a significant regional and global source of gaseous and particulate emissions to the atmosphere. These emissions impact the composition and chemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere and affect the transfer of both incoming solar radiation and outgoing…

The D/H content of methane emitted from biomass burning

The D/H content of methane emitted from biomass burning was measured using samples of smoke collected from large-scale laboratory combustion experiments and from fires typical of slash burning of primary forest and of pasture burning in the Brazilian Amazon. In laboratory…

Carbon emissions from spring 1998 fires in tropical Mexico

We used NOAA-AVHRR satellite imagery, biomass density maps, fuel consumption estimates, and a carbon emission factor to estimate the total carbon (C) emissions from the spring 1998 fires in tropical Mexico. All eight states in southeast Mexico were affected by the wildfires,…
