The wildland fire emission inventory: western United States emission estimates and an evaluation of uncertainty
Biomass burning emission inventories serve as critical input for atmospheric chemical transport models that are used to understand the role of biomass fires in the chemical composition of the atmosphere, air quality, and the climate system. Significant progress has been achieved in the development of regional and global biomass burning emission inventories over the past decade using satellite r...
متن کاملImplementation of National Fire Plan treatments near the wildland-urban interface in the western United States.
Because of increasing concern about the effects of catastrophic wildland fires throughout the western United States, federal land managers have been engaged in efforts to restore historical fire behavior and mitigate wildfire risk. During the last 5 years (2004-2008), 44,000 fuels treatments were implemented across the western United States under the National Fire Plan (NFP). We assessed the ex...
متن کاملWildland fire deficit and surplus in the western United States, 1984-2012
Wildland fire is an important disturbance agent in the western US and globally. However, the natural role of fire has been disrupted in many regions due to the influence of human activities, which have the potential to either exclude or promote fire, resulting in a ‘‘fire deficit’’ or ‘‘fire surplus’’, respectively. In this study, we developed a model of expected area burned for the western US ...
متن کاملNational Fire Plan fuels treatments target the wildland-urban interface in the western United States.
The article ‘‘Implementation of National Fire Plan treatments in the wildland–urban interface in the western United States’’ (1) is misleading because it is based on wildland–urban interface (WUI) designations not used by federal agencies or their state and local partners. Moreover, by omitting any examination of the allotment of program monies to WUI and nonWUI areas, it misses a significant o...
متن کاملVariability of wildland fire emissions across the contiguous United States
This study analyzes spatial and temporal variability of emissions from wildland fires across the contiguous US. The emissions are estimates based on a recently constructed dataset of historical fire records collected by multiple US governlnental agencies. Both wildfire and prescribed fires have the highest emissions over the Pacific coastal states. Prescribed fire emissions are also found to be...
