Study on the potential fire behavior of surface fuels in coniferous forests in Haizhai forestry,east Yunnan region
Sample plots were set up within the coniferous forests of Haizhai forestry,field surveys were conducted,surface litter was collected,and indoor combustion simulations and laboratory physical and chemical property analyses were performed,and SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the data to explore the characteristics of surface combustibles and potential fire behavior of the coniferous forests in Haizhai Forestry.Lanceolata had the worst combustibility as it had an absolute moisture content of(9.4±0.65)%and the lowest calorific value(19 878.9±48.63)kJ/kg,and also had the smallest fire intensity and rate of spread of(259.64±19.73)kW/m and(0.33±0.14)m/min,respectively.
