My discussion starts with some of the chemical aspects of forest fuels important from an emissions production standpoint. Then combustion processes are discussed. Finally, the emissions are described according to particulate matter and gaseous fractions.

Fire links the biosphere and the atmosphere. The linkage is, as yet, poorly quantified. Evidence suggests that a few percent of total C fixed by photosynthesis is oxidized by burning. Biomass burning seems to be globally significant in terms of associated: • Releases of trace…

Airborne measurements of 13 trace gases from seven forest fires in North America are used to determine their average emission factors. The emission factors are then used to estimate the contributions of biomass ubrning to the worldwide fluxes of these gases. The estimate for NH3…
