Project Title:  View help for Project Title Burning characteristics of circular fuel beds of four evergreen chaparral species
Summary:  View help for Summary This data publication includes flame and mass loss data from chaparral fuels burned in circular pans. Chaparral fuels were collected from 2003-2005 in the North Mountain Experimental Area in California and included the following species: chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum), hoaryleaf ceanothus (Ceanothus crassifolius), Eastwood manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulosa) and scrub oak (Quercus berberidifolia). Circular cribs composed of foliage and branches less than 0.625 centimeters in diameter were burned under still air conditions. Fuels were burned on the day collected, as well as after dried (2003-2005). Measurements include observed fire behavior such as mass loss rate, flame height, and temperature structure above the burning fuel bed.
