“…Old trees with a thick bark usually survive fire, although damages caused by the fire are common as a result of cambium damage at the base of the trunk (Parviainen, 1996). The following conclusion confirms the experimental results of other authors (de Ronde, 1982;Swezy, Agee, 1991;Sidoroff et al, 2007).…”

Kozak I., Węgiel A., Strzeliński P., Frąk R., Stępień A., Kociuba P., Kozak H.: FORKOME model application for prognosis of forest fires. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 4, p. 391-400, 2014. This paper presents the perspectives of FORKOME model use regarding the simulation of fire and its impact on forest stands. The calculation of probability of forest fires and predicting its effect on forest stands are analysed as well. The model is supposed to examine the impact of fires on pine stands, which ultimately leads to a decline in the viability of those trees. As a result of fire activity, there were determined the following categories of trees -undamaged, slightly damaged, heavily damaged and destroyed. Moreover, by conducting simulations on forests with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), there were demonstrated the possibilities of FORKOME model practical application. Simulation shows the possibility of the model to predict the fire damage in a particular year and the perspective of a stand development, taking into account climate change and its influence on the frequency of fires. Prospects and directions of further developments of the model concerning simulation of fire in forest stands were discussed as well.

“…The stem base often is proportionally more protected from thermal injury, i.e. the ratio of bark depth to stem radius decreases with height in the bole, namely in P. pinea and P. halepensis (Pageaud, 1991), P. pinaster and P. radiata (de Ronde, 1982), and P. nigra (Fernandes, data on file), especially in smaller trees, e.g. P. radiata (Jackson et al, 1999).…”

“…Low intensity wildfire (flame height <1 m but with a high-residence time) caused fire scars up to a height of 7 m and stem girdling between 22% and 46% of the circumference at stump height. Some effort has been devoted to quantify fire damage to the trunk of P. radiata, which is more likely than in P. pinaster (de Ronde, 1982). Thomson (1978) found bole damage in 0.6% of the sampled trees, for a stand age range of 11-26 years and prescribed fires under 300 kW m À1 of fireline intensity.…”

“…It thickens with age and especially with tree girth. Bark thicker than 12 mm will protect the stem cambium of most pines during prescribed fires (de Ronde 1982;Fahnestock and Hare 1964;Goldammer 1983;Kayll 1963). Susceptibility to cambial damage ranges from P. radiata and P. patu/a, the most susceptible, through P. taeda and P. pinaster, and finally to P. caribaea and P. elliottii, the most fire-resistant (de Ronde 1982;de Ronde et al 1986;Langdon 1971;McArthur 1971;Speltz 1968;Van Loon and Love 1973).…”
