Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Fuels on Organic and Associated Soils in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina The fire problem in the organic soil (pocosin) areas of eastern North Carolina centers around the frequent and costly blowup_1/ wildfires occurring there and the use of fire as a management tool. Under certain combinations of fuel and weather, low intensity fires will suddenly and often unexpectedly multiply their rate of energy output many times. In almost all instances these fires have been virtually uncontrollable until the weather has moderated or the fire has run out of fuel. Efforts at control are often greatly hampered by inaccessibility and the poor soil trafficability in much of the area. Prescribed fire appears to be a potentially valuable tool in the manage ment of pond pine by promoting seed fall from the serotinous cones and in preparing the seedbed. Fires of sufficient intensity to achieve these results, however, are usually difficult to control and tend to burn deeply into the or ganie soil. The problem has become more acute in the past 10 years because of the increased commercial importance of the pocosins as pulpwood and timber producing areas. A better understanding of the behavior of fires in the pocosins, especially of the factors that favor the occurrence of major fires, could contribute much to the economy of this particular region as well as to the general fund of basic fire behavior knowledge.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gain and Loss of Moisture in Large Forest Fuels Log moisture content did not provide a usable index of seasonal, monthly, or current fire danger severity. There are two main reasons for the failure' (1) fire danger, as now measured, is based upon the moisture content of fine fuels, which respond to weather much more rapidly than logs, and (2) two logs of approximately the same size had such different moisture contents at one time and from one time to another that the results from one were not comparable with the results from the other. Log moisture was found to decrease continuously, almost without regard to midsummer rain, from the last decade of June, which received approximately inch of rain, to the first decade after August 15 that received a similar amount. Rain falling between June 25 and August 15 had practically-no lasting effect upon log moisture content. Fire danger, in fuel types which include much pole and log-sized fuel, can be expected to increase greatly between July 10 and August 15 because of constant moisture losses. The present system of fire danger measurement makes no allowance for any intensification of the cumulative factor of danger during this period. The evidence indicates that the two main factors which determine how dry a log will become are its moisture content at the beginning of the summer desiccation period, and the length of the desiccation period. The log moisture at the beginning of the period will depend to a large extent on the amount of spring rain. It is therefore believed that a good index of the inflammability of large fuels during late season can be worked out on the basis of the amount of spring rain and the length of the summer desiccation period. A direct measure of log flammability can be obtained by measuring the average moisture content of the logs themselves, provided logs of the same size can be found which will have the same moisture content at any time and which will react the same from year to year.

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 excerpt: Excerpt from Two Keys for Appraising Forest Fire Fuels The proposed keys use criteria of size, quantity, and arrangement that can be de fined by rather simple observations. The sug gested terminology, which is completely new, defines these attributes in quantitative terms to the extent currently possible. Some dimen sions are based on fire behavior theory and drying regimes to be used in the National fire-danger Rating System, but many, at this stage, represent mainly experienced judgment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Fuel Properties of Ponderosa Pine Forest Floors and Cheatgrass Like most living things, forest and range fuels are assortments of plant parts and have definite bodily form depending on inherent qualities and environmental condi tions. The individual plant is composed of distinctly different parts or organs; for example, flowers, stems, leaves, roots, buds, petioles, bark, and thorns. The wide variety of living and dead plant parts that exist are actually fuel particles of varying sizes and shapes. A collection of fuel particles can be termed a fuel complex.
