In this section we outline both ecological and societal aspects of wildland and prescribed fire. We review the historical role and extent of fire and the effects of settlement and land use changes. The influence of fire exclusion policies on historical disturbance processes is…

In the past, smoke from prescribed burning was managed primarily to avoid nuisance conditions objectionable to the public or to avoid traffic hazards caused by smoke drift across roadways. While these objectives are still valid, today's smoke management programs are also likely…

Once smoke enters the atmosphere, its concentration at any one place or time depends on mechanisms of transport and dispersion. By transport, we mean whatever carries a plume vertically or horizontally in the atmosphere. Dispersion simply is the scattering of smoke. Vertical…

Smoke dispersion prediction systems are becoming increasingly valuable tools in smoke management. There are a variety of potential applications that can help current management issues. These include screening, where methods and models are used to develop 'worst-case' scenarios…

This study outlines the development of an approach to evaluate the sources, sinks, and magnitudes of greenhouse gas emissions from a grazed semiarid rangeland dominated by mulga (Acacia aneura) and how these emissions may be altered by changes in management. This paper describes…

The impact of the Central American fires on PM2.5 mass concentration and composition in the Tennessee Valley region during portions of May, 1998, has been quantified. Elevated concentrations of smoke aerosol tracers -- fine potassium, (and to a lesser extent, calcium and silicon…

From the text...'Whether you are concerned with particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, or hydrocarbons, all smoke components from wildland fires are generated from the incomplete combustion of fuel. The amount of smoke produced can be derived from knowledge of area…

The Mortar Creek Fire burned 26 000 ha of mixed-conifer Rocky Mountain forest in July-August 1979. Changes in burn stream conditions were examined relative to reference streams for various ecological factors on two to six occasions, from October 1979 to August 1980. Factors…
