Secondary compounds enhance flammability in a Mediterranean plant.

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2016

Pausas J G, Alessio G A, Moreira B, Segarra-Moragues J G

Abstract excerpt

Some plant secondary compounds, such as terpenes, are very flammable; however, their role in enhancing plant flammability is poorly understood and often neglected in reviews on plant chemical ecology. This is relevant as there is growing evidence that flammability-enhancing traits are adaptive in fire-prone ecosystems. We analyzed the content of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, performed flammability tests and...
