Smoke produced by vegetation fires consists of a complex mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid phases. Many particulates are generated during vegetation fires. Crutzen and Andreae (1990) have estimated that global emissions of pyrogenic smoke particles...
From introduction: 'Research on fire is often of an applied nature, addressing questions of how to manage landscapes for fire, how to determine fire danger, how to model fire behavior, fire impacts and post-fire succession (Martell 2001; Chuvieco...
Studies on the radionuclear contamination of forests caused by the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 show that as of the year 1992, in the Bryansk Region, 84% of the radionuclides (averaged over all the forest types examined) have been concentrated in the...

The rate and magnitude of emissions from prescribed burns and wildfires in wildland areas throughout the world are related to biomass consumption, which is controlled by total biomass, fuel moisture, fuel distribution (fuel size and arrangement), and...
Smoke dispersion prediction systems are becoming increasingly valuable tools in smoke management. There are a variety of potential applications that can help current management issues. These include screening, where methods and models are used to...
Once smoke enters the atmosphere, its concentration at any one place or time depends on mechanisms of transport and dispersion. By transport, we mean whatever carries a plume vertically or horizontally in the atmosphere. Dispersion simply is the...
