People have set fire to the savannas of West Africa for millennia, creating a pyrogeography. Fires render the landscape useful for many productive activities, but there is also a long history of efforts to regulate indigenous burning practices. Today, savanna fires are under…

Wildfire events are increasing globally which may be partly associated with climate change, resulting in significant adverse impacts on local, regional air quality and global climate. In September 2020, a small wildfire (burned area: 36.3 ha) event occurred in Souesmes (Loir-et-…

In the past few decades, forest fires have increased in number and severity, especially in the Mediterranean regions of Türkiye and Greece, where significant fires caused damage to thousands of hectares of land as well as wildlife. The main objective of the present study is to…

Outdoor fires, such as wildfires and prescribed burns, can emit substantial amounts of particulate matter and other pollutants into the atmosphere. In Texas, an inventory of forest, grassland and agricultural burning activities revealed that fires consumed vegetation on 1.6 and…

Although the boreal forest in Siberia, Russia contains approximately one-fourth of the world's terrestrial biomass, emissions data from biomass burning in Siberia is scarce. Five experimental fires of varying intensity were conducted in Central Siberia in 2000 and 2001. The…
