We have analyzed the soluble portion of impurities trapped in solid precipitation that accumulated at Summit (central Greenland) from 1193 A.D. to the present. Seventy-three ice layers show elevated concentrations of ammonium and formate, caused by high-latitude biomass burning…

We assessed the exposure of rural residents in the small community of Theobroma, Brazil, to the smoke generated from widespread agricultural and forest burning during August and September, 1995. Samples were collected for an 8-day period by using five battery powered personal…

Fuel loading and fuel consumption were measured on four prescribed burns with a natural fuel component. These sites were in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. Emissions were characterized on three of these sites. The fuel consumption was typical of a moderately wet…

Fire is a natural phenomenon in Madrean Province ecosystems. Suppression of natural fire has altered ecosystem processes, however. Recognition of these alterations has led to the adoption of let-burn policies by many management agencies, but a let-burn policy has become less…
