Flammability of native understory species in pine flatwood and hardwood hammock ecosystems

International Journal of Wildland Fire (Behm, Duryea, Long, Zipperer). This registry entry connects 10 plant records to 10 normalized source rows. It is primary fire evidence whose independent lineage can affect a fire classification. Evidence kind: lab-tested; lineage: ufifas-srs-tree.

The paper rejects a single composite flammability index and instead names four taxa as the most flammable, one as the least flammable, and describes wax myrtle's measured characteristics as moderate. Verdict map: the named most-flammable group = avoid; the named least-flammable taxon = recommend; every other measured taxon = mixed. No threshold or score is inferred.

Species-level fuel structure, biomass, moisture, volatile-solids, and energy measurements for ten unique taxa sampled as twelve ecosystem-by-species groups. The author-uploaded article is publicly readable in full. Behm, Long, and Zipperer overlap the later Long 2006 whole-plant study, so both papers remain one ufifas-srs-tree lineage vote.

Linked plant records (10)

Each row names the evidence channel this source supports. Range, status, hardiness, and fire-ecology context remain separate from fire classification.
