Under the nuclear winter scenario, large wildland fires are expected to contribute to a general smoke plume and are considered potential analogues for the behavior of gigantic palls. As a means of testing the reasonableness of current estimates of a wildland fire contribution,…

That the capacity of global models to predict the future can be well tested by their capacity to reconstruct past events is generally agreed, as is the definition of normal winter as the numerical equivalent of >5x103 degree-days (with the degrees in Fahrenheit). One-…

[From the introduction] Fire has been an important disturbance process for millennia in the wildlands of the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington. Records from early explorers and on many older trees suggest that fires burned at frequent intervals in…
