Fine and ultrafine particle emission factors and new diagnostic ratios of PAHs for peat swamp forest fires

Peatland fires are one of the major global sources of atmospheric particles. Emission factors for fine (PM1 and PM2.5) and ultrafine (PM0.1) particles and particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from plants in the peat swamp…

A plant species dependent wildfire black carbon emission inventory in northern Eurasia

Wildfire emission inventories are usually applied with biome-scale emission factors for atmospheric modeling. However, emission factors measured for different plant species vary substantially within the same…

The pyrogeography of methane emissions from seasonal mosaic burning regimes in a west African landscape

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…

A study on wildfire impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and regional air quality in South of Orléans, France

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-…

Exceptional wildfire enhancements of PAN, C2H4, CH3OH, and HCOOH over the Canadian high arctic during August 2017

Extreme enhancements in the total columns of carbon monoxide (CO), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), ethylene (C2H4), methanol (CH3OH), and formic acid (HCOOH) were observed over the Canadian high Arctic during the period of 17-22 August 2017 by a ground-based Fourier transform…

Development of an emission estimation method with satellite observations for significant forest fires and comparison with global fire emission inventories: application to catastrophic fires of summer 2021 over the Eastern Mediterranean

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…

Improving the combustion factor to estimate GHG emissions associated with fire in Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus spp. plantations in Chile

Forest plantations can substantially contribute to carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation at the country and global scales. Forest fires (especially when combined with droughts) may remarkably reduce such carbon sequestration capability. The IPCC has global-…

Wildfire national carbon accounting: how natural and anthropogenic landscape fires emissions are treated in the 2020 Australian government greenhouse gas accounts report to the UNFCCC

Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting of emissions from land use, land-use change, and forestry necessarily involves consideration of landscape fire. This is of particular importance for Australia given that natural and human fire is a common occurrence, and many ecosystems are…
