Forest fire hazard assessment based on forest typology by Volodymyr P. Voron, Andriy D. Kuzyk, Sergiy V. Ivashyniuta, Yilia R. Tsipan

“…When assessing the potential fire hazards, a contradiction arises because the fire risk is minimal in wet hygrotopes, but on the other hand, the total supply of terrestrial combustible materials is greater in forest types with excessive soil moisture, where organic matter decomposes. In these conditions, along with the accumulation of fallen needles and branches, an important factor in the fire hazard is also the role of the live ground cover. …”
