The accuracy with which park managers can predict the behavior, spread, and effects of individual fires will be increasingly critical to decisions on when and where to burn. Models to predict fuel accumulation and consumption, fire spread, smoke production, and the effects of…

From the text...'Given the concerns presented over the relative lack of progress being made in restoring fire to anything close to presettlement frequencies, it is only natural to ask what can we expect in the future. Although it is impossible to read the crystal ball, it is…

Recent predictions that tropospheric aerosols have counterbalanced greenhouse warming assume aerosol emissions were low before ad1850 and then increased dramatically with industrialization of the Northern Hemisphere and biomass burning in the Tropics. We assembled the lake…

Stand replacement prescribed burning has been applied in Alaska on several occasions. Based on that experience, perspectives can be provided, issues can be discussed, and keys to success can be identified that are applicable to stand replacement prescribed burning activities in…

The objectives of this study were to develop estimates of smoke emissions from wild and prescribed fires in B.C. forests during 1981-90, and to compare these with amounts that occurred before European settlement. The prescribed fires included in this study were carried out under…
