Texas A&M Forest Service Smoke Management Plan

The smoke management plan (SMP) sets in place best management practices to limit impacts on air quality and smoke sensitive areas before, during, and after burning. The guide is also designed to provide educational material and references for proper smoke management across the…

Acute peat smoke inhalation sensitizes rats to the postprandial cardiometabolic effects of a high fat oral load

Wildland fire emissions cause adverse cardiopulmonary outcomes, yet controlled exposure studies to characterize health impacts of specific biomass sources have been complicated by the often latent effects of air pollution. The aim of this study was to determine if postprandial…

Mutagenicity and lung toxicity of smoldering vs. flaming emissions from various biomass fuels: implications for health effects from wildland fires

Background: The increasing size and frequency of wildland fires are leading to greater potential for cardiopulmonary disease and cancer in exposed populations; however, little is known about how the types of fuel and combustion phases affect these adverse outcomes. Objectives:…

Fire prescriptions for restoration and maintenance of native plant communities

Four conditions are necessary for fire to assume ecological importance: 1) an accumulation of organic matter, i.e. fuel either herbaceous or woody, sufficient enough to burn; 2) dry weather conditions to render the material combustible; 3) a landscape conducive to the spread of…

Increases in land surface temperature in response to fire in Siberian boreal forests and their attribution to biophysical processes

Wildfire is the most prevalent natural disturbance in boreal forests, and impacts climate through biogeochemical (e.g., greenhouse gas emission from biomass burning) and biophysical (e.g., albedo (α), evapotranspiration (ET), roughness) processes. We used satellite observations…
