Biomass burning has only recently been recognized as a major source of important trace gases and aerosol particles. Through burning, the chemical elements in vegetation are cycled back to the atmosphere and to soils in chemical and physical forms and proportions which make biomass burning an important biogeochemical process. Before the advent of humans, fire was ignited naturally by lightning strikes in dry vegetated regions. Today, however, the process is driven almost exclusively by human activity which includes the burning of forested areas to facilitate land clearing, the burning of harvest debris to maintain cleared land, the extensive burning of natural grasslands and savannas to sustain nomadic agriculture, and the burning of biomass as fuel for cooking and heating. The importance of biomass burning is well recognized in International Global Atmospheric Chemistry and this activity, Biomass Burning Experiment : Impact on the Atmosphere and Biosphere(BIBEX), was established to address this phenomenon. It is being carried out by a multi-national science team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Germany. 3, record 2, English, - Biomass%20Burning%20Experiment%3A%20Impact%20on%20the%20Atmosphere%20and%20Biosphere

I’m Neevee the Caribou. I’m friendly. I enjoy the company of others. I travel in a great herd of thousands of my friends. We all get along very well together. I’m considerate of others and I have many qualities that set me apart and make me very special. I have a thick fur coat that allows me to stand on the tundra when a strong, cold wind is blowing and it’s -35ºC. I have sturdy bones that help me walk hundreds of miles every year when I journey across the North and back again. 1, record 4, English, - Neevee%20the%20Caribou

Je suis Neevee la Caribou. D'abord, j'aime ça avoir beaucoup de monde autour de moi. Je suis habituée : je voyage souvent avec des milliers d'autres caribous et ils me trouvent tous très gentille. Et puis nous autres les caribous, on est comme les oiseaux. Quand l'hiver arrive et que la neige recouvre la toundra, on descend plus au sud, là où on peut trouver quelque chose à manger. Ça veut dire des centaines de kilomètres de route! Je vous dis que ça prend de bonnes jambes pour suivre le troupeau. 1, record 4, French, - Neevee%20la%20Caribou
