This review summarizes the available literature relevant to British Columbia concerning the influences of harvesting and post-harvest practices upon the forest environment and resources, and points out significant gaps in knowledge where research would be useful. This will aid…

From Experimental Results ... 'Smoke samples were collected in a small aircraft, which was flown through the smoke columns from a series of large prescribed fires in the forest areas of Western Australia in the spring of 1970. The smoke particles were deposited on air-filters or…

Smoke from large scale fuel reduction fires in Western Australia has been investigated from an aircraft. These fires are typically 10,000-20,000 acres in area with fuel loadings of 3-6 tons/acre. Measurements were made of mass concentration, scattering coefficient and total…

In a series of 11 surface burns in old fields at two locations in southern Ontario the environmental factors having the greatest effect on fire severity were fuel moisture content, windspeed and fuel energy. Other environmental factors were of less significance. Changes in soil…
