The combustion products (smoke) from forest wildfires or prescribed burns are often considered on a par with any other emission that might affect air quality. But enough is known about smoke from woody fuels to indicate that its importance is limited almost entirely to…

The benefits from fire use - including hazard reduction, silvicultural manipulation, pathogen control, and nutrient recycling - might be forfeited by public reaction to smoke, whether harmful or not. Generally, the public desires alternatives to burning, but might accept fire if…

Major wildfires have affected millions of acres of forest lands in the continental United States during recent years. Many believe the increase in wildfire activity may be the result of fuel accumulations caused by 80 years of fire suppression, combined with drought and trees…
