Flammability of some companion species in cork oak forests

Annals of Forest Science (Dehane, Hernando, Guijarro & Madrigal). 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: inia-madrid-tree.

K-means classifications of fresh and oven-dried fuels differ. The paper's abstract explicitly identifies Calicotome spinosa, Tetraclinis articulata, Juniperus oxycedrus, and Pinus halepensis as highly flammable. Verdict map: this explicit overall high group = avoid; all other measured taxa = mixed. No recommend verdict is inferred from a favorable fresh-only cluster.

The complete article is publicly archived in HAL. All ten exact species are represented. Fresh twigs with foliage and paired oven-dried samples were tested by mass-loss calorimeter. Hernando, Guijarro, and Madrigal place this in the INIA Madrid fire-lab program already represented by Ganteaume; the Algerian samples are new data but share one inia-madrid-tree vote.
