Abstract

Based on the great field investigation and experiment in laboratory, four fuel types were classified for all broad-leaved/Korean pine forests and its plantations in northeast China in this paper. Various kinds of fuel loads, combustibility and potential energy are calculated and discussed. The relationships between fuel types, fire environment and fire behavior are also widely expounds, and some research results and management suggestion on Korean pine forests are also given in the paper.
