Retrieval of biomass combustion rates and totals from fire radiative power observations: application to southern Africa using geostationary SEVIRI imagery

[1] Southern African wildfires are a globally significant source of trace gases and aerosols. Estimates of southern African wildfire fuel consumption have varied from hundreds to thousands of teragrams (Tg), and better-constrained estimates are required to properly assess the…

Global fire activity from two years of MODIS data

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA Earth Observing System Terra and Aqua satellites provides global fire observations of unprecedented quality. This paper presents spatial and temporal distributions of active fires from 2001 and 2002, the…

Fire, livelihoods, and environmental change in the Middle Mahakam peatlands, East Kalimantan

Large-scale, recurrent fires in Indonesia in recent decades have caused widespread deforestation and transformation of peatlands, and have contributed to substantial smoke haze and greenhouse-gas pollution. In some areas, local community use of fire for livelihood needs could be…

Effect of oxygen deprivation on soil hydrophobicity during heating

Previous studies of the effects of heating on soil hydrophobicity have been conducted under free availability of oxygen. Under fire, however, soils may be deprived of oxygen due to its consumption at the heat source and inadequate replenishment in the soil. In the present study…

Above-ground biomass and the fate of carbon after burning in the savannas of Roraima, Brazilian Amazonia

Above-ground biomass (live + dead), was estimated pre- and post-burn in eight types of savanna ecosystem in Roraima, in the extreme northern part of the Brazilian Amazon. The objective was to investigate the stock of pre-burn above-ground carbon and its fate after experimental…

Estimating combustion of large downed woody debris from residual white ash

The production of residual white ash patches within wildfires represents near-complete combustion of the available fuel and releases a considerable quantity of gases to the atmosphere. These patches are generally produced from combustion of large downed woody debris (LDWD) such…
