Effects of fire on the chemical status of herbaceous communities of the Derbyshire Dales

Fire in a plant community causes alterations in the chemical status of the community and in the availability of nutrients in the soil. These changes have been followed in an experimental study of grassland and tall herb communities on the Carboniferous Limestone of Derbyshire.…

Carbon monoxide: a firefighting hazard

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, nonirritating gas. One of the products of combustion, it is invisible, odorless, tasteless, and slightly lighter than air. But smoke, another combustion product, is visible. And when smoke is present, it is highly likely that CO and other…
