CRC Press Biomass Burning in South and Southeast Asia Vol 2

Biomass burning represents a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and aerosols throughout South and Southeast Asia. This environmental phenomenon creates significant transboundary air pollution that affects multiple nations. This second volume provides an interdisciplinary look at how these burning practices impact land resources, the climate, and the atmosphere. Written with contributions from leading scientists, the text explores the connection between land and atmosphere interactions. It utilizes a variety of scientific methods to study these changes, including top-down remote sensing and bottom-up ground-based measurements. By combining these with integrated modeling, the book offers a clear view of the environmental consequences of biomass burning in these specific regions. This volume is an essential resource for those studying Earth sciences and the atmospheric impacts of regional land management.
