High northern latitude forest fires and vegetation emissions over the last millennium inferred from the chemistry of a central Greenland ice core

We have analyzed the soluble portion of impurities trapped in solid precipitation that accumulated at Summit (central Greenland) from 1193 A.D. to the present. Seventy-three ice layers show elevated concentrations of ammonium and formate, caused by high-latitude biomass burning…

Rural community exposure to smoke from biomass burning in Rondonia, Brazil

We assessed the exposure of rural residents in the small community of Theobroma, Brazil, to the smoke generated from widespread agricultural and forest burning during August and September, 1995. Samples were collected for an 8-day period by using five battery powered personal…

Prescribed burning for management of hawthorn and alder

A 1.3 hectare field containing hawthorn and alder was burned in April 1973. Post-burn analysis of 20 hawthorns and 20 alders determined the fire susceptibility of these species. Of those sampled, 80 percent of the trees less than 3 centimeters in basal diameter were killed. The…

Using motion pictures for data collection on prescribed burning experiments

A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…
