Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

The Tropical Forest and Fire Emissions Experiment (TROFFEE) used laboratory
measurements followed by airborne and ground based field campaigns during the 2004 …

Biomass burning (BB) is the second largest source of trace gases and the largest source of
primary fine carbonaceous particles in the global troposphere. Many recent BB studies have …

Tropical forests hold large stores of carbon, yet uncertainty remains regarding their
quantitative contribution to the global carbon cycle. One approach to quantifying carbon …

Global carbon emissions from fires are difficult to quantify and have the potential to influence
interannual variability and long‐term trends in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. We used 4 …

A synthesis of ground‐based measurements and satellite information is described for
estimating the amount of monthly averaged biomass burned in year 2000 with a spatial …

The study estimated, for the first time, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with cattle
raising in Brazil, focusing on the period from 2003 to 2008 and the three principal sources …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …

Fire‐driven deforestation is the major source of carbon emissions from Amazonia. Recent
expansion of mechanized agriculture in forested regions of Amazonia has increased the …

This work presents the dynamics of fire occurrences, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
forest clearing, and degradation in the Brazilian Amazon during the period 2006–2019 …
