Biomass Burning Langley DAAC Project/Campaign Document

Summary:

Biomass burning has been going on for many years. In fact, the amount of biomass burning has increased in the last 100 years. Biomass burning includes the clearing of forests and savannas for agricultural and grazing use; shifting agriculture practices; the control of grass, weeds, and litter on agricultural and grazing lands; the elimination of stubble and waste on agricultural lands after the harvest; and the domestic use of biomass matter. This document provides a brief description of biomass burning and the data sets currently archived at the Langley DAAC.
