Discuss.: 11 March 2014 Revised: 16 September 2014 – Accepted: 17 September 2014 – Published: 29 October 2014 Abstract. Savanna fires contribute approximately 40–50 % stantially between different savanna vegetation assemblages; of total global annual biomass burning carbon emissions. Re- with a majority of this variation being mirrored by variations cent comparisons of emission factors from different savanna in the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) of different regions have highlighted the need for a regional approach to vegetation classes. We conclude that a significant majority emission factor development, and better assessment of the of the variation in the emission factor for trace gases can be drivers of the temporal and spatial variation in emission fac- explained by MCE, irrespective of vegetation class, as illus- tors.
