'A program of burning experiments was carried out to assess the air pollutant emmissions potential of forest residues in the Pacific Norhtwest. Only the fine fuel component of slash fuelbeds was considered. Ponderosa pine slash, Douglas-fir slash with needles, and Douglas-fir…

About 872,000 acres of forest and agricultural land were burned in Georgia during 1972, releasing an estimated 17,000 tons of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Most of this burning was done in the southwestern half of the State during January, February, and March.…

Prescribed fire is the intentional use of fire to achieve certain land management goals. Over 2 million acres of forest land in the southern United States are treated with this tool each year. The benefits from these burns can be offset by a degradation of air quality due to the…

Prescribed fire has been used in managing our southern forest lands for over 50 years. However, burning forest fuels comes under the open burning regulations of the various states. These regulations and how they affect forest management are highlighted by three geographic areas…

Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

From the Summary ... 'Combustion emissions from dead, dry forest fuel are considerably less than those from live, green material. For the most part, prescribed burning involves dead, dry fuel in contrast to wildfires where a high proportion of live, green material is included in…

Smoke from large scale fuel reduction fires in Western Australia has been investigated from an aircraft. These fires are typically 10,000-20,000 acres in area with fuel loadings of 3-6 tons/acre. Measurements were made of mass concentration, scattering coefficient and total…

Forest land generally produces considerable woody material other than that which is harvested as timber, needed for recycling of nutrients to the soil, or for sheltering wildlife and young forest seedlings. Excess forest residues, both living and dead, are often subject to…
