TGA/TDA and Analytical Pyrolysis (Py/GC-MS) of Two Mediterranean Forest Species with Distinctive Flammability Characteristics: Cupressus sempervirens L. and Quercus suber L.
Abstract:The frequencies of wildfires in the Mediterranean climate regions (MCRs) have amplified due to the increased temperatures and drought periods resulting from climate change. Vast areas of forests are consumed by wildfires and certain species are threatened by extinction due to their high flammability and weak thermotolerance to climate change whereas, other species with high thermotolerance are exploited as silviculture measures in forest management strategies. Canopy and litter foliage are the first ignitable … Show more
