Interactions between Fine Wood Decomposition and Flammability

Interactions between Fine Wood Decomposition and Flammability

Fire is nearly ubiquitous in the terrestrial biosphere, with profound effects on earth surface carbon storage, climate, and forest functions. Fuel quality is an important parameter determining forest fire behavior, which differs among both tree species and organs. Fuel quality is not static: when de...
