Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surface Fuel Loadings and Predicted Fire Behavior for Vegetation Types in the Northern Rocky Mountains Many stands, identified by overstory cover type, were selected from large areas for fuel sampling. Selected stands were identified on aerial photographs and then located in the field. Stands were also selected while hiking on and off trails. Stand selection was not entirely random; however, effort was made to systematically and objectively distribute stands throughout entire drainages.

Book Spatial Variability of Wildland Fuel Characteristics in Northern Rocky Mountain Ecosystems

Download or read book Spatial Variability of Wildland Fuel Characteristics in Northern Rocky Mountain Ecosystems written by Keane and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigated the spatial variability of a number of wildland fuel characteristics for the major fuel components found in six common northern Rocky Mountain ecosystems. Surface fuel characteristics of loading, particle density, bulk density, and mineral content were measured for eight fuel components-four downed dead woody fuel size classes (1, 10, 100, 1000 hr), duff, litter, shrub, and herb-on nested plots located within sampling grids to describe their variability across spatial scales. We also sampled canopy bulk density, biomass, and cover for each plot in the grid. The spatial distribution and variability of surface and canopy fuel characteristics are described using the variance, spatial autocorrelation, semi-variograms, and Moran's I. We found that all fuels had high variability in loading (two to three times the mean), and this variability increased with the size of fuel particle. We also found that fuel components varied at different scales, with fine fuels varying at scales of 1 to 5 m, coarse fuels at 10 to 150 m, and canopy fuels at 100 to 500 m. Findings and data from this study can be used to sample, describe, and map fuel characteristics, such as loading, at the appropriate spatial scales to accommodate the next generation of fire behavior prediction models.

Book Predicting Behavior and Size of Crown Fires in the Northern Rocky Mountains Classic Reprint

Download or read book Predicting Behavior and Size of Crown Fires in the Northern Rocky Mountains Classic Reprint written by Richard C. Rothermel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Predicting Behavior and Size of Crown Fires in the Northern Rocky Mountains Figure 1 - Variation in rate of spread exhibited by running crown fires. The Mack Lake fire, a plume-dominated fire, is shown as a solid line, and the Sundance fire. A wind-driven fire, is shown as a dashed line. As the name implies, a crown fire is a fire carried through the crowns of living forests. Before reaching this condition, a fire can go through several stages of development. Typically, a fire may Spread for some time in sur face fuels such as grass, forest litter, or shrubs, without interacting with the overstory. It may even smolder in forest duff for days or weeks until burning conditions improve and the fire becomes active and begins to Spread. Beighley and Bishop (1990) provide an excellent description of the transition from surface fire to crown fire in high-elevation forests. Favor able conditions for a crown fire include.

Book Nomographs for Estimating Surface Fire Behavior Characteristics

Download or read book Nomographs for Estimating Surface Fire Behavior Characteristics written by Joe H. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete set of nomographs for estimating surface fire rate of spread and flame length for the original 13 and new 40 fire behavior fuel models is presented. The nomographs allow calculation of spread rate and flame length for wind in any direction with respect to slope and allow for nonheading spread directions. Basic instructions for use are included.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Behavior in Northern Rocky Mountain Forests Ah important reason for understanding fire behavior is to provide safety for the firefighters. Every fine behavior Situation calls for specific safety measures. Experience gained from.fighting thousands of fires has shown that the suppression job may be accomplished with a reasonable degree of safety. To achieve safety it is highly important that all firefighters have a general knowledge and the leaders of the firefighting forces have a high degree of knowledge of fire behavior.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Predicting the Effect of Fire on Large-Scale Vegetation Patterns in North America Ecological considerations provide constraints on the vegetation transitions produced by these reductions of lai, and additional insight into successional dynamics and changes in species composition. For example, fire can cause changes in the domi nant plant phenology or leaf type in a biome without obligatory changes in lal. Under standing how ecological effects preset the initial conditions to which fire behavior models are applied will be a key step in integrating biotic and abiotic processes, to effectively model the mechanisms of change at the biome scale.

Book Wildland Fuel Fundamentals and Applications

Download or read book Wildland Fuel Fundamentals and Applications written by Robert E. Keane and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new era in wildland fuel sciences is now evolving in such a way that fire scientists and managers need a comprehensive understanding of fuels ecology and science to fully understand fire effects and behavior on diverse ecosystem and landscape characteristics. This is a reference book on wildland fuel science; a book that describes fuels and their application in land management. There has never been a comprehensive book on wildland fuels; most wildland fuel information was put into wildland fire science and management books as separate chapters and sections. This book is the first to highlight wildland fuels and treat them as a natural resource rather than a fire behavior input. Moreover, there has never been a comprehensive description of fuels and their ecology, measurement, and description under one reference; most wildland fuel information is scattered across diverse and unrelated venues from combustion science to fire ecology to carbon dynamics. The literature and data for wildland fuel science has never been synthesized into one reference; most studies were done for diverse and unique objectives. This book is the first to link the disparate fields of ecology, wildland fire, and carbon to describe fuel science. This just deals with the science and ecology of wildland fuels, not fuels management. However, since expensive fuel treatments are being planned in fire dominated landscapes across the world to minimize fire damage to people, property and ecosystems, it is incredibly important that people understand wildland fuels to develop more effective fuel management activities.
