From the text... 'Fire kills trees in several ways: crown injury, cambium injury, and root injury.... Once an acceptable level of mortality has been chosen for a particular species, the nomogram can be used to develop a burning prescription.... Acceptable mortality will depend on the value of the trees and the objectives of the fire.'
