FIRESCAN
Definition
- The Fire Research Campaign Asia-North (FIRESCAN) was initiated in 1992. FIRESCAN addresses the role of fire in boreal ecosystems and the consequences for the global atmosphere and climate. On 6 July 1993 a large forest fire experiment was conducted on Bor Forest Island, Krasnoyarsk Region, Russia. The major objective of the Bor Forest Island Fire Experiment was to conduct a high-intensity, stand replacement fire that would permit the documentation of fire behavior and effects in a manner that would allow comparison of eastern and western fire research methodologies. The major parameters investigated comprised: 1. Fire ecology of Pinus sylvestris forests of the Sym Plain, including the long-term pollen and sediment records and a dendrochronology-derived fire history 2. Vegetation and fuels (pre-fire and post-fire recovery, fuel loading and consumption, tree mortality) 3. Fire behavior (fuels, fire weather, fire behavior) 4. Emissions of gases (CO2, CO, H2, CH3Br, CH3Cl) and aerosol (particle deposition) Summary provided by http://www.igac.noaa.gov/newsletter/15/boreal.php (en)
