The Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck method and the local approximation are used to derive coupled nonlinear equations for the electron and ion concentrations and the energy-dependent electron distribution function in earth's lower ionosphere. These equations give the appropriate generalization of the standard electron-ion continuity equations in the local approximation when electron-neutral-particle impact ionization is treated rigorously. Stable numerical solutions to these equations are reported, and the calculated electron concentration is compared with the experimentally determined result for a rocket experiment where the electron concentration and solar EUV spectral flux were measured simultaneously.
