Book Synopsis Wildland Fire Behaviour by : Mark A. Finney
Download or read book Wildland Fire Behaviour written by Mark A. Finney and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and can sometimes be dangerous and destructive to fauna, human communities and natural resources. Through scientific understanding of their behaviour, we can develop the tools to reliably use and manage fires across landscapes in ways that are compatible with the constraints of modern society while benefiting the ecosystems. The science of wildland fire is incomplete, however. Even the simplest fire behaviours – how fast they spread, how long they burn and how large they get – arise from a dynamical system of physical processes interacting in unexplored ways with heterogeneous biological, ecological and meteorological factors across many scales of time and space. The physics of heat transfer, combustion and ignition, for example, operate in all fires at millimetre and millisecond scales but wildfires can become conflagrations that burn for months and exceed millions of hectares. Wildland Fire Behaviour: Dynamics, Principles and Processes examines what is known and unknown about wildfire behaviours. The authors introduce fire as a dynamical system along with traditional steady-state concepts. They then break down the system into its primary physical components, describe how they depend upon environmental factors, and explore system dynamics by constructing and exercising a nonlinear model. The limits of modelling and knowledge are discussed throughout but emphasised by review of large fire behaviours. Advancing knowledge of fire behaviours will require a multidisciplinary approach and rely on quality measurements from experimental research, as covered in the final chapters.
Book Synopsis Characterizing the Jack Pine-black Spruce Fuel Complex of the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment (ICFME) by : Martin E. Alexander
Download or read book Characterizing the Jack Pine-black Spruce Fuel Complex of the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment (ICFME) written by Martin E. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes in detail the various sampling methods & techniques used in quantifying the ground, surface, ladder, and crown or canopy fuel characteristics of the jack pine & black spruce forest in the primary plots of the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment, located about 50 kilometres north-east of Fort Providence, Northwest Territories. The approach involved both general sampling in the study area as a whole and the use of a systematic grid structure for the experimental plots that were to be burned. New data & information on the fuel properties of northern forests were acquired as part of this process. Detailed descriptions & summaries of the char of the forest floor, dead-down woody surface fuels by roundwood diameter size class, understory canopy ladder fuel, and overstory crown fuel for each of the primary plots are presented in tabular & graph form. Representative values for the fuel complex represented by the study area forest cover type are also given.

Download or read book Stereo Photo Guide for Estimating Canopy Fuel Characteristics in Conifer Stands written by Joe H. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stereo photographs, hemispherical photographs, and stand data are presented with associated biomass and canopy fuel characteristics for five Interior West conifer stands. Canopy bulk density, canopy base height, canopy biomass by component, available canopy fuel load, and vertical distribution of canopy fuel are presented for each plot at several stages of sampling, each corresponding to a level of simulated low thinning (100, 75, 50, and 25 percent of the initial basal area). This guide will help fuel managers estimate canopy fuel characteristics in similar forest conditions.

Book Synopsis Guide to Fuel Treatments in Dry Forests of the Western U. S. by : Morris C. Johnson
Download or read book Guide to Fuel Treatments in Dry Forests of the Western U. S. written by Morris C. Johnson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes a range of fuel treatments for representative dry forest stands in the Western U.S. dominated by ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, & pinyon pine. Six silvicultural options (no thinning; thinning from below to 50 trees per acre [tpa], 100 tpa, 200 tpa, & 300 tpa; & prescribed fire) are considered in combination with the surface fuel treatments (no treatment, pile & burn, & prescribed fire), resulting in a range of alternative treatments for each representative stand. Fuel treatment scenarios presented here can be used by resource managers to examine alternatives for Nat. Environ. Policy Act documents & other applications that require scientifically based info. to quantify the effects of modifying forest structure & surface fuels. Illustrations.
Book Synopsis Fire Behavior in Black Spruce-lichen Woodland by : Martin E. Alexander
Download or read book Fire Behavior in Black Spruce-lichen Woodland written by Martin E. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The behaviour of single point-ignition and line-ignition experimental fires was studied in upland black spruce-lichen woodland stands at Porter Lake in the Caribou Range of the Northwest Territories from June 26-July 8, 1982. The experimental burning project objective was to relate the head fire rate of spread (ROS) in this fuel type to the initial spread index (ISI) component of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System. The experimental fire plots varied in size from 0.02 ha-0.65 ha. and the live tree overstory averaged about 1200 stems/ha and 5.0 m in height. The lichen layer averaged about 3.5 cm in depth. Three point-ignition fires, seven line-ignition fires, and one wildfire were documented over a wide range of burning conditions. A relationship for equilibrium fire spread in black spruce-lichen woodland stands was established.
