We present a systematic study of the vertical distribution of gases produced in controlled combustions induced in caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea var hondurensis). Small areas of pine debris were burned and were taken into a comercial gas cromatographer. A simple mathematical model is tested with the data, based of the Fokker-Planck equation.
