The looming possibility of global warming raises legitimate concerns for the future of the forest resource in Canada. While evidence of a global warming trend is not conclusive at this time, governments would be wise to anticipate, and begin planning for, such an eventuality.…

Airborne measurements of several gaseous and particulate chemical species were obtained in the emissions from a wildfire that burned in an old black spruce forest in Alaska during the summer of 1990 [Fire A121 in Yukon Flats]. The relative proportions of most of the measured…

Burning has been a traditional component of land clearing operations to eliminate unwanted debris from fields. Burning under the proper conditions can be a cost efficient method of debris removal, and provides nutrient release into the soil. Burning, however, carries with it the…

The boreal forests of Russia play a prominent role in the global carbon cycle and the flux of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Large areas of Russian forest burn annually, and contributions to the net flux of carbon to the atmosphere may be significant. Forest fire emissions…

Since 1977, the extent of forest wildfires in the boreal and western regions of North America increased by 6 to 9x over long-term trends, and an estimated 132x106 ha of temperate and boreal forest burned across the northern hemisphere. Emissions during and after burning may have…

Fire fighters in Canada's navy must undergo regular training with fires from simulated helicopter crashes. Visible emissions from these fires often create health concerns in surrounding communities. This paper presents air quality implications of plume dispersion associated with…

'With reference to 'Holiday Highlands Prescribed Burn' (by Peggy Lantz, FN Winter '92), I fail to understand what was accomplished. Why do we need to 'open up the canopy' by removing trees that are already established and performing their function of providing wildlife food and…

These questions arise not as a local phenomenon but on a world scale which is seldom appreciated. Fire regimes prevail not only over huge areas in south-central Africa and Brazil, but also extend through North Africa--in the Sudan Zone especially--and no doubt also occur in the…
