Encountering Prescribed Fire: Characterizing the Intersection of Prescribed Fire and Wildfire in the CONUS.

ACS EST Air

Prescribed fire is applied across the United States as a fuel treatment to manage the impact of wildfires and restore ecosystems. While the recent application of prescribed fire has largely been confined to the southeastern US, the increase in catastrophic wildfires has accelerated the growth of prescribed fire more broadly. To effectively achieve wildfire risk reduction benefits, which includes reducing the amount of smoke emitted, the area treated by prescribed fire must come into contact with a subsequent wildfire.

Biostatistics and Informatics Shared Resource, University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA.

The Green Heart Project is a controlled, community-based clinical trial to evaluate the effects of increasing greenery on community health. The study was initiated in 2018 in a low-to-middle-income residential area of nearly 30,000 racially diverse residents in Louisville, KY. Community engagement was maintained throughout the project, with feedback integrated into its design and implementation.

Contribution of dust emissions from farmland to particulate matter concentrations in North China Plain: Integration of WRF-Chem and WEPS model.

Environ Int

December 2024

Laboratory of Geospatial Technology for the Middle and Lower Yellow River Regions (Henan University), Ministry of Education, Kaifeng, Henan 475004, China; Henan Key Laboratory of Air Pollution Control and Ecological Security (Henan University), Kaifeng, Henan 475004, China. Electronic address:

Wind erosion from farmland is a significant contributor to atmospheric particulate matter, particularly PM (atmospheric particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm), in regions with intensive agricultural activities such as the North China Plain (NCP). However, the specific impact of farmland dust emissions on regional air quality remains underexplored. This study integrated the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) model with the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) to investigate the effect of agricultural dust emissions on PM concentrations in the NCP.
