Short summary

We used drones to measure greenhouse gas emission factors from fires in the Brazilian Cerrado. We compared early-dry-season management fires and late-dry-season fires to determine if fire management can be a tool for abating emissions. Although we found some evidence of increased CO and CH₄ emission factors, the seasonal effect was smaller than that found in previous studies. For N₂O, the third most important greenhouse gas, we found opposite trends in grass- and shrub-dominated areas.
