A conceptual framework for ranking crown fire potential in wildland fuelbedsThis article is one of a selection of papers published in the Special Forum on the Fuel Characteristic Classification System.

Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual framework for ranking the crown fire potential of wildland fuelbeds with forest canopies. This approach extends the work by Van Wagner and Rothermel, and introduces several new physical concepts to the modeling of crown fire behaviour derived from the reformulated Rothermel surface fire modeling concepts proposed by Sandberg et al. (this issue). This framework forms the basis for calculating the crown fire potentials of Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) fuelbeds … Show more

“…The underprediction tendency associated with Rothermel's (1991) model shown in Fig. 5 has also been found to occur with the crown fire rate of spread model developed recently by Schaaf et al (2007) as part of the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (Ottmar et al 2007). The Schaaf et al (2007) model, based on a reformulation of the Rothermel (1972) model by Sandberg et al (2007), is specifically designed to predict the rate of spread of crown fires in coniferous forests.…”

“…Además, teniendo en cuenta los datos de carga de combustibles finos acumulados en el dosel de copas que figuran para esta especie en la foto-guía de combustibles desarrollada para Galicia (Arellano et al, 2017), es una especie propensa a los fuegos de copa cuando las condiciones ambientales son adversas, algo que será cada vez más frecuente debido al cambio climático (Vega et al, 2009). La probabilidad de este tipo de incendios está directamente relacionada con la estructura del rodal y la continuidad horizontal y vertical del combustible de copas (Schaaf et al, 2007;Crecente-Campo et al, 2009), de ahí la importancia de contar con modelos que permitan estimar dicha distribución vertical.…”
