Excerpt from Cover Type and Fire Control in the National Forests of Northern California
The amount and kind of fuel present in the woodland type varies greatly. In the drier situations the oaks, the principal species, occur as isolated trees, with Widespreading crowns. This form of woodland type merges with the grassland type throughout its range; the ground is carpeted With grasses and weeds In profusion, and these form the principal fuel. Fires, as in the grassland type, spread With great rapidity over the surface, though rarely running up to the tree crowns. Where precipitation is heavier, the woodland type forms a close canopy of many hardwood species and the ground is heavily covered with a layer of dried and decayed leaves, and lacks any understory of grasses and weeds. Fires in the denser stands eat their way slowly through this semicompacted mass of organic material, flaring up occasionally through the trees under increased wind velocity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the environment and wildfires in Northern California, a region containing a wide variety of forest types, from timber-producing conifer stands to non-commercial grasslands and chaparral. The author analyzes ten years of fire data to discover the influence of forest type on the occurrence and behaviour of fires, and the effectiveness of forest protection. The author finds that the intensity of the fire season, as well as the ease of starting and spread of fires is related to the kind of plant life present. Dense stands of timber, for example, prevent the growth of understory vegetation that can fuel fires, while the open nature of grasslands allows for rapid fire spread. The author's insights improve understanding of how wildfires behave and how to control them, proving invaluable to forest managers seeking to protect forests from the devastating effects of wildfires. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
