Abstract

Data on loads of needles for pine, spruce, fire, larch and Pinus sibirica saplings are given in relation to their height. This allows to estimate load of sapling needles per hectare by using forest inventory data on saplings composition, height and density. Such an estimate is necessary for more accurate pyrological description of tree stands during forest fire behavior prediction. The actual role of coniferous saplings is analyzed as a factor of surface fire development into a crown one.

Key words: coniferous saplings, load of needles, fuels, surface fires, crown fires
