A generic fuel moisture content attenuation factor for fire spread rate empirical models

Aim of study: To develop a fuel moisture content (FMC) attenuation factor for empirical forest fire spread rate (ROS) models in general fire propagation conditions. Methods: The development builds on the assumption that the main FMC-damping effect is a function of fuel ignition energy needs. Main re...
