SUMMARY: Flammability and combustibility measurements for Mediterranean vegetation were made at the experimental area Dom near Bormes les Mimosas, southeastern France. Laboratory tests were produced with an electric radiator (epiradiateur) to achieve certain parameters for living fuels from grassy, shrubby and treelike kinds. Based on these parameters a classification was made related to the flammability lag and it was presented to forest service for intervening in preserving and protecting forests against fires. Simultaneously, by analogy to the North American methods in calculating Forest Fire Danger Index, drying and wetting the dead forest fuel was measured at two locations: in open land and under Mediterranean shrubbery. These changes were observed in relation to the changes of meteorological elements to improve the mentioned methods. Key words: flammability, combustibility, electric radiator, mediterranean vegetation, fire-risk. |
