CLIMATE EFFECTS OF BIOMASS BURNING

Biomass burning contributes to climate change, but the global-scale climate response of controlling biomass-burning gas and particle emissions together has not been examined until recently. In our simulation study, we estimated that, whereas eliminating particles from biomass burning warm globally averaged temperatures in the short term, the warming may be more than offset after several decades by cooling due to eliminating long-lived carbon dioxide, particularly from permanent deforestation.

The study involved global-model simulations of the climate response to biomass-burning aerosol components (e.g., organic carbon, black carbon, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, chloride, ...
