The purpose of this paper is to discuss why and how the remote sensing photographic approach can be used in the detection and assessment of vegetation damage. The necessary attributes of the interpreter are mentioned, along with the need to clearly define and outline the…

This report outlines the development (section 2) and testing (section 3) of a simple mathematical dispersion model, — based on Gaussin plume models for air polution, — for predicting smoke concentration and visibility reduction downwind from prescribed burns in forests. The data…

'AFA has taken a policy stand that supports immediate reductions of fossil-fuel emissions that contribute to acid rain, in concert with continuing research to clarify causes, effects, and costs of controlling the phenomenon. This month, we present part three in a six-part series…

In Australia the long-term ecolgical consequences of forest practices which lead to nutrient depletion may be very serious. In the absence of fertilization, cumulative nutrient depletion associated with intensive management (involving clear-felling, slash burning, and short…

'The world's largest forest fire, which burned from September 1982 until july1983 in eastern Kalimantan, the Indonesian sector of Borneo, almost certainly caused the extinction of several species of plants and animals. It will probably result in a long-term decline in food…

A note on the features and control of the ground (soil fires that occur at intervals of 5-8 yr in the Soviet Far East. The winter ground fires occur when the snow cover is incomplete, after a warm dry autumn and when the water table is low. These fires often do not affect the…

In Canada about 1.3 million hectares (M ha) of forests are destroyed by wildfires each year, and about 63% of all these fires are man-caused. During the 1980 and 1981 fire seasons, however, about 10 M ha were damaged; estimated annual emissions from forest fires were 224 million…
