Fire Phenomena and the Earth System by Claire M. Belcher Pdf

Fire plays a key role in Earth system processes. Wildfires influence the carbon cycle and the nutrient balance of our planet, and may even play a role in regulating the oxygen content of our atmosphere. The evolutionary history of plants has been intimately tied to fire and this in part explains the distribution of our ecosystems and their ability to withstand the effects of natural fires today. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System brings together the various subdisciplines within fire science to provide a synthesis of our understanding of the role of wildfire in the Earth system. The book shows how knowledge of fire phenomena and the nature of combustion of natural fuels can be used to understand modern wildfires, interpret fire events in the geological record and to understand the role of fire in a variety of Earth system processes. By bringing together chapters written by leading international researchers from a range of geological, environmental, chemical and engineering disciplines, the book will stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge across these subject areas. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System provides a truly interdisciplinary guide that can inform us about Earth’s past, present and beyond. Readership: Advanced students and researchers across a wide range of earth, environmental and life sciences, including biogeochemistry, paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, palaeontology and paleoecology, combustion science, ecology and forestry.

Aspects of the Earth by N. S. Shaler Pdf

Excerpt from Aspects of the Earth: A Popular Account of Some Familiar Geological Phenomena The greater part of the several essays contained in this volume have already been printed in Scribner s Magazine; the last chapter, that concerning soils, has not been before printed, and to the others considerable additions have been made since they were published. Something in the way of an apology is due from any writer who, in this day of excessive book-making, reprints papers which have appeared as occasional publications. It may be said in favor of the republication of these essays that, although not originally designed for a book, they were written with a distinct purpose and have a certain common quality. They were intended to give the general reader, unacquainted with the details of natural science, a comprehensible account of some of the more interesting series of the actions which affect the surface of the earth. For this purpose subjects have been selected which, from their nature, commend themselves to the attention of intelligent people. In treating these subjects an effort has been made to show the relation of natural forces to the fortunes of man, and thereby to secure, on the part of the reader, the interest which belongs to matters which affect human welfare alone.
