Biomass burning profoundly affects atmospheric chemistry, the
carbon cycle, and climate and may have done so for millions of
years.
Bringing together renowned experts from paleoecology, fire ecology,
atmospheric chemistry, and organic chemistry, the volume elucidates
the role of fire during global changes of the past and future.
Topics covered include: the characterization of combustion products
that occur in sediments, including char, soot/fly ash, and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; the calibration of these
constituents against atmospheric measurements from wildland and
prescribed fire emissions; spatial and temporal patterns in
combustion emissions at scales of individual burns to the globe.
A discussion of the direct and indirect mechanisms by which fire
and climate interact to influence carbon cycling in North American
boreal forests. The first section summarizes the information needed
to understand and manage fires' effects on the ecology of boreal
forests and its influence on global climate change issues.
Following chapters discuss in detail the role of fire in the
ecology of boreal forests, present data sets on fire and the
distribution of carbon, and treat the use of satellite imagery in
monitoring these regions as well as approaches to modeling the
relevant processes.
