Abstract

 

This paper discusses the results of a study of heat radiated from forest fires of various types and its impact on conifer tree crowns and stems. The investigation permitted to determine the crown-to-ground distances, at which fire heat flux was lethal to buds in conifer crowns and damaged the near-cambium tree stem zone. 

 

Key words: forest fire, thermal radiation, combustion rate, flame temperature
