definition: [Renata Libonati] Biomass burning is a significant global source of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide and methane)as well as of nitric and carbon monoxides, methyl bromide and hydrocarbons that lead to acid rainand the photochemical production of tropospheric ozone and destruction of stratospheric ozone whichaffect global climate. Other impacts relate to the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carboncompounds, the hydrological cycle, the reflectivity and emissivity of the land, the stability ofecosystems and ecosystem biodiversity... , "[Joel S. Levine] Biomass burning is a source of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. In addition, biomass burning is a source of chemically active gases, including carbon monoxide, nonmethane hydrocarbons, and nitric oxide. These gases, along with methane, lead to the chemical production of tropospheric ozone (another greenhouse gas) as well as control the concentration of the hydroxyl radical, which regulates the lifetime of almost every atmospheric gas... , "[Ricardo H. M. Godoi] Biomass burning is an important primary and secondary source of aerosol particles. The presence ofcarbonaceous particles in the respirable size range makes the study of this fraction important inview of possible health and climatic effects. The annual burning of sugar cane plantations causesemission of huge amounts of pyrogenic particles... , "[Malik Amraoui] Biomass burning is a significant global source of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide and methane)as well as of nitric and carbon monoxides, methyl bromide and hydrocarbons that lead to acid rainand the photochemical production of tropospheric ozone and destruction of stratospheric ozone whichimpact global climate. Other impacts of biomass burning relate to the biogeochemical cycling ofnitrogen and carbon compounds, the hydrological cycle, the reflectivity and emissivity of the land,the stability of ecosystems and ecosystem biodiversity... , "[Chandra Prakash Singh] B…
