Wildfire Slide Set 2
The slides in this set provide examples of particles created by biomass fires in addition to those in Set 1. Each slide is identified with the scientific name.
1. Serviceberry Leaf Ash: Thermally modified calcium oxalate
2. Manzanita Leaf Ash: Thermally modified calcium oxalate
3. Toyon Leaf Ash: Thermally modified calcium oxalate druses are most common.
4. Redshanks Leaf Ash: Thermally modified calcium oxalate druses, diamonds, and sands are present.
5. Eucalyptus Bark Ash: Thermally modified calcium oxalate trapezoidal twins and irregular prims are most common. An elongated, concave trapezoidal twin form is characteristic.
6. Bull Grass (Buffelgrass) or Guinea Grass Ash: These are common invasive grasses in arid environments, including Hawaii, subject to grassland fires. Characteristic silica phytoliths are common in smoke from these fires. These are both tall grasses and have very similar silica phytoliths.
7. Mesquite Leaf Ash: Mesquite is a common small tree in semi-tropical arid environments, including Hawaii.
8. Creosote Bush Leaf Ash: Creosote Bush is a common small tree in semi-tropical, arid environments. It is common in the Southwest US.
9. Juniper Leaf and Twig Ash: Juniper trees are part of the higher elevation montane from Idaho to Arizona and New Mexico, extending into Mexico.
10. Wild Rose Leaf Ash: Wild rose species are found worldwide in many different environments.
