Prescribed fire is used as a management practice to maintain grassland dominance and reduce woody plant encroachment on grasslands and rangelands. Little is known regarding effects of these fires on CO2 fluxes and their potential contribution to atmospheric CO2. The objectives…

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…

The NOAA 12 advanced very high resolution radiometer detected extensive forest fires in boreal Siberia and northern Mongolia during April through October 1998, a year of extremely dry weather, in particular, in the Russian Far East. Analysis of the satellite data has been…

Russian boreal forests are subject to frequent wildfires. The resulting combustion of large amounts of biomass not only transforms forest vegetation, but it also creates significant carbon emissions that total, according to some authors, from 35 to 94 Mt C per year. These carbon…

A study was carried out to assess the variability in trace gas emission from several factors and to estimate the immediate impact of fire on carbon exchange. Using geospatial data, a model of emission was developed for three carbon-based gases, CO2, CO, and CH4, released during…

The mass burning rates of several polymer systems, including polycarbonates, polysystrenes, polyethylenes, and wood were determined for steady-state combustion in an apparatus similar to that constructed at Factory Mutual Research. The work was undetaken to determine the…

Shaped by fire for thousands of years, the forests of the western United States are as adapted to periodic fires as they are to the region's soils and climate. Our widespread practice of ignoring the vital role of fire is costly in both ecological and economic terms, with…
