Observation shows that three types of horizontal vortices may form during intense wildland fires. Two of these vortices are longitudinal relative to the ambient wind and the third is transverse. One of the longitudinal types, a vortex pair, occurs with extreme heat and low to…

Long-term effects of air pollutants in Finland have been studied by analyzing needle litter of pine (Pinus silvestris L.) and spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) in 13 stands from the years 1958 to 1982. A considerable annual increase in elemental concentrations was observed in the…

The present-day northern Rocky Mountain vegetation is the product of a long history of geologic and climatic events that have interacted with the species populations composing the regional flora. General concepts relating to the organization, classification, and dynamic nature…

Patterns of undisturbed nutrient cycling in northern ecosystems and the impact of fire on nutrient cycling are reviewed and discussed. The various effects of fire on ecosystem nutrient cycling may be broadly subdivided into (1) nutrient redistribution during fire, and (2)…

'Two studies were undertaken. An initial study in 1974 produced results that indicated significant losses of nitrogen and some other elements. The study was repeated 1981 as a check on the results of the 1974 burn, and to provide an assessment of the methods used in the first…
