ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of surface fuel load and estimate potential crown fire transition hazards in Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis stands. Surface fuels were collected from 144 samples in Pinus densiflora stands and 53 samples in Pinus koraiensis stands. A forest fire spread equation presented in foreign countries was applied to analyze the potential crown fire transition hazard in Korea. The results of the data analysis showed that the shrub fuel layer and herb fuel layer of the load in Pinus densiflora stand was less than those in Pinus koraiensis stand due to allelopathy. It is also found that dead leaves and snags fuel was higher in Pinus densiflora stand than Pinus koraiensis stand, which indicates that Pinus koraiensis stand has relatively less risk of crown fire hazard than Pinus densiflora stand.
