Heavy smoke from forest fires in the Amazon was observed to reduce cloud droplet size and so delay the onset of precipitation from 1.5 kilometers above cloud base in pristine clouds to more than 5 kilometers in polluted clouds and more than 7 kilometers in pyro-clouds.…

Red-cockaded woodpecker populations declined precipitously following European Settlement and expansion and cutting of the original pine forests across the southeastern United States. By 1990 most residual populations lacked demographic viability, existed in degraded habitat, and…

Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, has a landscape fire management target to maintain or restore 50% of the long-term average fire cycle. Because the park experiences frequent lightning fires it has adopted a strategy to use both management-ignited prescribed burns and…
