Predicting and managing fuel consumption in the interior west

Equations for predicting duff and large woody fuel (7.6+ cm) consumption are summarized. Dependent variables are duff depth reduction, percentage duff depth reduction, percentage mineral soil, large fuel diameter reduction, and percentage large fuel reduction. Opportunities to…

Analysis of condensates from wild smoke: components derived from polysaccharides and lignins

A feasibility study has been carried out of the analysis of total condensate (at -50 °C) of smoke from smoldering combustion of wood. All of the phenol and furan components in the aqueous condensate were extracted into methylene chloride and the extract was analyzed by GC/MS.…
