Moisture Content of Fuels and Forest Fire Prediction of Platycladus Orientalis Forest in Xishan of Beijing
Taking Platycladus orientalis in Beijing Xishan Forest as the research object,the characteristics of the selected forest were investigated,and the moisture content of fine fuels on the forest surface was measured.A moisture content model of such fuels was established based on the meteorological factors that were significant through Pearson correlation analysis,and a surface fire occurrence probability model was established according to the igni-tion test.Combined with the Cruz crown fire occurrence model,an analysis was made on the dynamic changes of the occurrence probability of surface fire and crown fire by using the actual meteorological conditions.The results show that the model of moisture content of fine fuels has a good prediction;during the fire prevention period,the prob-ability of surface fire in the Platycladus orientalis forest was relatively high,while the probability of crown fire in dif-ferent plots varied widely,and the probability of crown fire was higher when the wind speed is high.
