Reducing Black Carbon and Agricultural Burning: Benefitting Health, Climate and Agriculture
This document discusses the impacts of black carbon on the Arctic climate and why reducing agricultural burning in Russia is important. Open burning in Russia significantly contributes to black carbon levels in the Arctic. Programs are funding research on alternative methods to burning and pilot projects to reduce burning. Future efforts should focus on determining the most effective alternative methods for Russian agriculture and providing farmers with support like financing, education and demonstration farms to adopt them.

1. Minimalism is characterized by steady beats without meter, reclaiming diatonicism without tonality, perpetual presents, gradual processes, and listener-derived forms.
