Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 99. Fire in Forests, Rangelands and Agricultural Systems
The report gives an overview of the data needs for fire advisories such as fire danger and fire behavior meteorology, fire weather forecasting, and fire and air quality/smoke management. The report summarizes the use of observation networks in fire meteorology and mesoscale meteorological modeling for fire meteorology and air quality and it reviews the World Health Organization Health Guidelines for Episodic Vegetation Fire Events. The report concludes by discussing the future challenges and needs in the field such as automated weather stations, mesoscale meteorological models and fire ...

Management strategies in agriculture and forestry for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate variability and climate change : report of the CAgM-XII Working Group
This report presents examples of the impacts of adaptation strategies required for reducing vulnerability of agriculture and forestry to climate variability and climate change. It also presents information on the impacts of the conversion of forests into crop and rangelands and also examples of the impact of management strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from agroecosystems.

IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme. Definitions and methodological options to inventory emissions from direct human-induced degradation of forests and devegetation of other vegetation types
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Penman Jim; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); et al. - IGES, 2003The report discusses:
- Alternative definitions and provides possible framework definitions for countries to consider;
- Methodological options to inventory emissions from degradation and devegetation activities;
- Approaches to reporting and documentation; and
- Implications of methodological and definitional options for accounting under the provisions of Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol (including issues of scale, costs and accuracy).
- Guidance on possible methodologies for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions or ...

Proceedings - Expert meeting on harmonizing forest-related definitions for use by various stakeholders
The meeting started a process which aims to achieve more consistency in the use of forest-related definitions, thus contributing to reducing reporting requirements and respective costs for countries, as well as facilitating communication and negotiation between international conventions, processes and instruments. The meeting recommended, inter alia, establishing a Task Group; preparing a comprehensive analytical framework; and organizing another expert meeting to review the framework and decide on further action.

Community Involvement in and Management of Forest Fires in South East Asia
Karki Sameer; European Commission ; International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN - IUCN, 2002This review is guided by the aim of Project FireFight South East Asia (PFFSEA) to document successful community experiences with forest fires and analyse the political, institutional, cultural and economic elements that enable local communities to actively engage in preventing uncontrolled burning. The case studies in this review show that successful community involvement in forest fire management depends on many factors including a community’s attachment or ownership of and dependence on forest resources; traditional knowledge of the local biophysical environment and fire usage; and absence o ...
