A field technique for evaluating winds aloft is described. It can be used at remote places-even at the site of a wildfire. It has proved accurate as any known single theodolite technique, and is time-saving because the winds aloft are evaluated in miles per hour from direct…

Burning experiments in the laboratory on samples of forest floor (L + F + H organic layers) from an old-growth Tsuga heterophylla/Pseudotsuga taxifolia forest, indicated a 25-64% loss of N from the forest floor at temperatures of 300-700 C. Burning increased the N concentration…
