                         clearing fires in the Brazilian Amazon region. Experiments were 
                         conducted in Manaus (state of Amazonas) (2 experiments), 
                         Tom{\'e}-A{\c{c}}u (state of Par{\'a}) (1 experiment), and Alta 
                         Floresta (state of Mato Grosso) (8 experiments). The research 
                         congregated 6 Brazilian and 2 American research institutions. 
                         Results on the following main themes of the research are 
                         presented: - Biomass consumption and emission rates of CO2 under 
                         fire; - Emission factors of combustion gases produced in the 
                         burns; - Log smoldering; - Under-story fire propagation; - 
                         Charcoal formation; - Changes of composition of the water 
                         percolated through the soil; - Mercury emissions by fires. The 
                         paper also discusses the newly approved thematic project that will 
                         support research for the following 4 years. Experiments will be 
                         conducted in Cruzeiro do Sul and Rio Branco (state of Acre) and 
                         again in Alta Floresta.",
