Mulch fuels in boreal forests : structure, moisture, and initial fire behaviour observations.: F029-2/66-2016E-PDF
"Vegetation management (or fuel management) is one important component of wildfire risk mitigation outlined by the FireSmart program in Canada (Partners in Protection 2003). Treating fuels can alter how they react to fire. Fuel treatments, such as mulching, generate stand and surface characteristics that are significantly different from the standard fuel types described within the Canadian Fire Behaviour Prediction System (Forestry Canada Fire Danger Group 1992. The objective of this Forest Management Note is to highlight some of the results from recent mulch research conducted in Alberta and British Columbia that can be applied and used by forestry and fire management practitioners"--Introd., [1].
