آتش سوزی در باختر آفریقا FIRES IN WEST AFRICA


As fall moves toward winter, the continental-scale biomass burning across Africa shifts from areas south of the equator to northern areas. Biomass burning in southern Africa peaks in late summer, while burning season in the north peaks in January or February. Both the Sahel (a strip of transitional vegetation between the Sahara Desert to the north and the tropical savannas to the south) and the savannas are subject to agricultural burning as people clear land for farming and regenerate pasture lands.
