The efficient, sustainable and safe use of prescribed burning is based on quantitative application guidelines. PiroPinus was conceived for operational support to line-ignited, hazard-reduction burning in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) forest, but can be used as a modelling tool for surface fire behaviour in general. PiroPinus rests on a sound empirical foundation and links the fire environment (fuel, weather, t...
The present document is intended to be an auxiliary working instrument for the field trip to the northwest mountains of Portugal, organized during the 3rd International Meeting of Fire Effects on Soil Properties by the Núcleo Investigação em Geografia e Planeamento da Universidade do Minho, with the collaboration of the Centro de Estudos de Geografia e Ordenamento do Território, scheduled for March 15-19, 2011,...
An experimental fire was conducted in the summer in a 28-year old maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) plantation in northeastern Portugal. Fuel conditions within the stand were age-dependent and comprised four situations: treated with prescribed fire at differing times, respectively 2, 3, and 13 years before the study, and undisturbed, where fuel accumulation time equalled stand age. The rate of fire spread did not ...
