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…

Wildland fire is a major producer of aerosols from combustion of vegetation and soils, but little is known about the abundance and composition of smoke’s biological content. Bioaerosols, or aerosols derived from biological sources, may be a significant component of the aerosol…

Fire is one of the major forest disturbances in northeast China. In this study, simulations of the burned area in northeast China from 1997 to 2015 were conducted with the Lund-Potsdam-Jena wetland hydrology and methane (LPJ-WHyMe) model. The fire modeling ability in northeast…
