From the Conclusion ... 'An ecological review on air pollution as a whole, and in particular the relationship of control burning to such possible pollution warrants the following conclusions: (1) In spite of the tremendous amounts of pollutant materials released into the…

It is possible to delimit the areas of the North, Central, and South America that are most susceptible to fire and would have been most affected by burning practices of early Americans. Areas amounting to approximately 155 x 105 km² are here designated as the most burnable part…

From the text... 'To understand and predict wildland fire behavior, it is necessary to enlarge analogies drawn from confined fires and to create models for the components of the fire environment, such as fuels and weather, and for the mechanics of fire propagation. Wildland fire…

Fire is a worldwide phenomenon that appears in the geological record soon after the appearance of terrestrial plants. Fire influences global ecosystem patterns and processes, including vegetation distribution and structure, the carbon cycle, and climate. Although humans and fire…
