Considerations for characterizing fuels as inputs for fire behavior models

2006-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Active crown fires affect forest ecosystem structure and function, and the livelihood of the surrounding human communities. Researchers and managers use simulation models to understand fire behavior and predict fire hazard. Accurate predictions depend on the capacity of simulation models to represent the processes that control fire behavior and on the quality of the data used. The data required to predict crown fi...
