We present estimates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission from worldwide biomass burning totaling ~13 Tg N yr-1 on a 1 degree longitude by 1 degree latitude grid. Roughly 80 percent of these emissions occur in the zone from 25N to 25 degrees S. The inventory presented here is…

The character of most southern forest ecosystems has been shaped by fire. Indians and early settlers fired the woods for many purposes. After a period of attempted fire exclusion, foresters recognized the necessity of fire by prescription in southern pine cover types. This paper…
