A new bench-scale methodology for evaluating the flammability of live forest fuels

SAGE / Journal of Fire Sciences (INIA-CIFOR Forest Fire Laboratory). This registry entry connects 4 plant records to 4 normalized source rows. It is primary fire evidence whose independent lineage can affect a fire classification. Evidence kind: lab-tested; lineage: inia-madrid-tree.

Table 1 reports five continuous variables for four live-fuel taxa at similar moisture content and 50 kW/m²: TTI, PHRR, AEHC, MLR, and THR. The authors publish no overall taxon class or composite rank. Rows are therefore direct laboratory evidence with verdict not-rated; all five means and repeatability standard deviations remain in claims.

Tier 1 bench-scale study from the INIA-CIFOR laboratory. Component directions conflict, so deriving a recommend/avoid verdict would invent a weighting rule. Pinus pinaster uses live needles; the understory shrubs use leaves and fine twigs under 1 cm. Same inia-madrid-tree lineage as the earlier Spanish laboratory program.

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