摘要: James K. Brown Collin D. Bevins Means, standard deviations, and quartiles of fuel loadings were determined for litter, downed woody material 0 to one10urth inch, 1 3 inches, herbaceous vegetation, shrubs by cover types fire groups. The studies . conducted at four locations in northwestern Wyoming, western Montana, northern Idaho. Most distributions strongly skewed the right. Ratios medians-tomeans components vegetation type location all averaged close 0.6 except shrubs, which O.lS. Correlation coefficients component pairs mostly less than 0.30. Fuel predicted behavior varied considerably within groups compared between types. Results suggest that a few models physical properties rating danger predicting broad are appropriate practical applications. Other implications using mathematical discussed.
