Smouldering combustion is an important and complex phenomenon that is central to a wide
range of problems (hazards) and solutions (applications). A rich history of research in the …

This review considers the pollutants formed by the combustion of solid biomass fuels. The
availability and potential use of solid biofuels is first discussed. This is followed by the …

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 …

" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

Smouldering peat fires, the largest fires on Earth in terms of fuel consumption, are reported
in six continents and are responsible for regional haze episodes. Haze is the large-scale …

Smoldering combustion is the slow, low temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels and
is the most persistent type of combustion phenomena. It is especially common in porous …

The upcoming global mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation in developing countries should include and prioritize tropical peatlands …

Smouldering wildfires propagate slowly through surface and subsurface organic layers of
the forest ground and severely affect the soil, producing physical, chemical and biological …

Smouldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion of a condensed
fuel. It poses safety and environmental hazards and allows novel technological application …

This chapter argues that smouldering combustion leads to megafires as measured in terms
of the total organic material consumed. The chapter reviews the current knowledge on …
