Stable carbon isotopic composition of biomass burning emissions – implications for estimating the contribution of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> plants
Abstract C 3 C 4 C 3 C 4 CO 2 CH 4 CO 2 13 C signature. CO in particular showed a distinct dependence on burning conditions; flaming emissions were enriched in 13 C compared to smouldering combustion emissions. For CH 4 C 3 13 C -enriched) and C 4 13 C -depleted). This indicates that while it is possible to distinguish between fires that were dominated by either C 3 C 4 δ 13 C signature of emissions. Besides laboratory experiments, we sampled gases and carbonaceous aerosols from prescribed fires in the Niassa Special Reserve (NSR) in Mozambique, using an unmanned aerial system (UAS)-mounted sampling set-up. We also provided a range of C 3: C 4 contributions to the fuel and measured the fuel isotopic signatures. While both OC and EC were useful tracers of the C 3 C 4 C 3: C 4 ratio in the field or other processes caused this depletion. Although additional field measurements are needed, our results indicate that C 3 C 4 source ratio estimation is possible with most BB products, albeit with varying uncertainty ranges.
