Smoke considerations associated with understory burning in larch/Douglas-fir

From the Introduction ... 'The Lubrecht Forest fire study in which understory burning was done in mature larch/Douglas-fir has been described earlier in this proceeding. This paper discusses the effect of atmospheric conditions and fuel consumption on smoke. The research to date…

Fire-weather in the planning and application of a prescribed burn

Weather conditions are among the most important elements to be considered in the planning and execution of a prescribed burn. Temperature and relative humidity have a direct effect on the moisture content of fuels. Together with wind they determine fire hazard and the ability of…

Some chemical and physical characteristics of emissions from forest fires

This paper is directed to those interested in emissions from forest fires as they may impact on air quality. There are several different types of forest fires, each with distinct sets of emission characteristics. Emission factors for combustion products vary widely with fire…
