The vertical distribution of biomass burning aerosol (BBA) is important in regulating their impacts on weather and climate. The plume-rise process affects the injection height of BBA and interacts with the air parcel lifting and cloud processes. However, these processes are not…

The atmospheric input of carbon dioxide from burning wood, in particular from forest fires in boreal and temperate regions resulting from both natural and man-made causes and predominantly from forest fires in tropical regions caused by shifting cultivation, is estimated to be 5…

Summary ... 'There are several different types of forest fires, each with distinct sets of emission characteristics. Emission factors and rates vary widely with fire behavior and fuel conditions. Wherever possible, they should be expressed as ranges instead of single average…
