Knowledge of the flammability and fuel parameters of the lemvir (Viburnum tinus L.)

Sa？etak In addition to understanding and knowing the biological and ecological consequences of forest fires as well as methods of recovery and restoration of fired surfaces, the knowledge of factors that cause the occurrence of forest fires and the factors causing initial spread of fire is essential due to the reduction of burned surfaces and the preparation and management of preventative activities. Therefore, a better understanding of flammability and fuel parameters can contribute to improve the knowledge of fire hazard issues and identifying critical periods of high risk of forest fires. The prescribed methodology was used to test the flammability and fuel parameters. The results of these studies have determined the exact values of the individual investigated variables for the type of our environment. They should serve as guidelines for a better firefighting policy, in favor of sustainable management and preservation of general-interest functions
