Objetivo The overall objectives of the project are: to assess the fire hazard reduction obtained by the application of prescribed fire on 2 forest fuel complexes, Pinus pinaster needle litter and shrub plus Pinus pinaster litter; to quantify fire behaviour in these 2 fuel complexes; to determine the influence of physical fuel properties and external variables on fire behaviour and compare these results with results from the BEHAVE model; and to identify the range of conditions in which prescribed fire can be applied in Pinus pinaster stands to reduce the treatment adverse effects. The specific objectives are as follows. To evaluate fire hazard reduction by measuring field loading reductions by prescribed fire in the 2 fuel complexes. To quantify fire behaviour for the fuel complexes in laboratory experiments by determining the influence of: physical fuel properties; fuel loadings; fuel moisture contents; and wind velocity. To measure temperatures on the forest floor and surface soil, and relate them to environmental conditions. To assess nutrient losses and mineralization of the forest floor organic matter and surface soil layers as an impact of prescribed burning application. To evaluate changes in the microbial activity in forest floor and surface soil layers caused by prescribed fire.
