                         controlled and uncontrolled deforestation in South America (Setzer 
                         et al. 1998 Malingreau and Tucker 1988), and due to an increase in 
                         the area of cultivated land with the expansion of population in 
                         Africa and South America (Seiler and Crutzen 1980; Houghton et al. 
                         1987). In the burning process trace gases and particulates are 
                         emitted to the atmosphere, and the ability of the earth to fix CO2 
                         is substantially reduced (17 of the primary productivity occurs in 
                         the humid tropical forests - Atjay et al. 1979; Mooney et al. 
                         1987), and as a result has a strong contribution to the 
                         anticipated climate change (Houghton and Woodwell 1989).",
