Coverage contract

The paper reports several cone-calorimeter measurements and warns that their rankings are not interchangeable. Verdicts therefore use only the abstract's author-named effective-heat-of-combustion extremes: taxa named high = avoid; taxa named low = recommend; every other measured taxon = mixed. This is a map of the conditioned foliage-and-twig result, not a whole-plant claim.

Public full text is hosted by the USDA Forest Service. Thirty-six identified vascular species and one genus-rank Vitis row are represented. Cynanchum cf. louiseae remains held because a cf. determination is not a genus rating; three bryophytes and one lichen remain held because the current directory schema has no defensible nonvascular plant form. Dibble and White overlap the Forest Products Laboratory cone-calorimeter program represented by White et al. 2002 and Weise et al. 2005, so this is one usfs-fpl-cone-tree vote.

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