9780366957422 - Logging Slash Flammability (Classic Reprint) di Fahnestock, George R. (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the immense human cost of slash fires. By measuring the rate of fire spread and intensity, the author identifies slash fuel components and characteristics, and discovers how physical characteristics affect flammability. Focusing on Northern Rocky Mountain forests, the author uses experimental data to analyze rate of fire spread, intensity of slash fires, and the flammability of different tree species. Scientific findings are interpreted via a quantitative system that relates species, size, and quantity of slash to flammability and fire behavior. In addition to studying fire behavior, the book investigates how slash fuel dries, providing insights into fire prevention and suppression strategies. The practical research presented in this book, including flammability ratings of different species and drying time by size and exposure to the sun, provides ways to evaluate the hazard of varied slash situations and develop effective slash treatment plans.
