A 1.3 hectare field containing hawthorn and alder was burned in April 1973. Post-burn analysis of 20 hawthorns and 20 alders determined the fire susceptibility of these species. Of those sampled, 80 percent of the trees less than 3 centimeters in basal diameter were killed. The…

Smoke particles absorb much of the thermal radiation from a large fire. This process affects the vertical velocity of the convection column. And it affects fire spread because of the effects of absorption on radiative heating of fuels ahead of the fire. The magnitude of these…
