Fire Technology, 1970
What is flammability? The author suggests that it consists of ignitibility, sustainability, and combustibility. He defines ignitibility in terms of fuel properties and heat source intensity. Similar methods for determining sustainability and combustibility have not yet been formulated.

Seeing the forest for the fuel: Integrating ecological values and fuels management
Forest Ecology and Management, 2007Management of dry forests often involves trade-offs between ecological values, particularly those associated with closed-canopy forests, and reduction of severe wildlife risk. We review principles and our ecological research that can be used to design stand- and landscape-level fuel treatments in dry coniferous forests of western North America.

1996
The subject matter of this paper is a new area in the field of pyrology (wildland fire science) in Russia, the mapping of vegetation fuels (VF). Methods of composing VF maps of middle and large scales are briefly explained, along with the purpose of such maps. A classification of the basic groups of VF — the prime conductors of burning in surface fires

Forest floor depths and fuel loads in upland Canadian forests
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2012Forest floor data are important for many forest resource management applications. In terms of fire and forest carbon dynamics, these data are critical for modeling direct carbon emissions from wildfire in Canadian forests because forest floor organic material is usually the greatest emissions source.

Moisture Diffusivity in Forest Fuels
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 1992Abstract. Apracticalmeans of quanmingthe diffusivities of forest fuels from fielddata is presented. The mathematics of this method is explored for four fuel shapes: a litter layer, a hardwood leaf, a twig and a square fuel moisture analogue stick, which are represented geometrically by a semi-infinite solid, a slab, a cylinder and a square prism ...

The Forests and Railway Fuel Supply
2015A resolution of the Home Department, Government of India, noted the following on deforestation taking place in northern India: The attention of the Government has been directed to the partial denudation of trees that has of late years been taking place in some parts of the Upper Provinces and particularly in the tract known as the Doab, to meet the ...

Flammability Assessment of Mediterranean Forest Fuels
Fire Technology, 2001The time-to-ignition of various dominant Mediterranean forest fuels was measured during laboratory tests, in order to develop a relative flammability classification and determine the moisture of extinction of these fuels. The tests were performed with an ignition apparatus manufactured according to the ISO standards (ISO 5657-1986E) and under a wide ...

Forest fuels management in Europe
2006Current fuel management practices vary considerably between European countries. Topography, forest and forest fuel characteristics, size and compartmentalization of forest, forest management practices, land uses, land ownership, size of properties, legislation, and, of course, tradition, are reasons for these differences.
