Effects of Moisture on Combustion of Live Wildland Forest Fuels
… burning behaviors between dry and moist (live) fuels. To better understand these fundamental differences, an experiment was designed to use a flat-flame burner to simulate a moving fire front which heated and ignited a stationary, individual fuel sample. Samples included various U.S. species …

The relationship between the nutrient status and flammability of forest fuels
… of foliar and litter materials from Australian forests and the three components of flammability, namely, ignitability, sustainability, and combustibility. The Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) method was chosen as an index of ignitability and sustainability, and combustibility has been measured by …

SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN FOREST FUELS: SIMULATION MODELING AND EFFECTS ON FIRE BEHAVIOR
Forests in the western United States and elsewhere face a growing crisis arising from global warming, changes in fuel beds and an increasing human population. Fire management policy emphasizes fuel treatments, such as thinning and prescribed burning, to remedy this situation because fuels are the …

The relationships between the forest fuels and vegetation of Richmond National Battlefield Park, Virginia
… were to determine the loading of dead and down forest fuels in 6 forest cover types on the upper Coastal Plain of Virginia, specifically in the Richmond National Battlefield Park, and to determine the relationships between the fuels and the vegetation. The forest fuels and vegetation were …

Wildland Fire in the Central Appalachian Mountains: Impacts on Above- and Belowground Resources
… has increased over the past ten years as forest managers on public lands have increasingly used prescribed fire to meet management goals. These goals include hazardous fuel reduction, wildlife habitat restoration and management, and control of less desired vegetation. Research is needed to …

Fire in My Backyard: Place Meanings and Landowner Views on Fire and Fuels Management on the Kootenai National Forest, MT
… Recently, the build-up of hazardous forest fuels and ensuing increase in high-intensity wildland fire events across the western U.S. has led to growing interest in integrating local communities and their views and interests into the planning process for fuel reductions projects. One …
