SFM_metric: Standard fuel models (Albini 1976, Scott & Burgan 2005)

Description

All values converted to metric format.

Usage

data(SFM_metric)

Arguments

Format

A data frame including standard fire behavior fuel models as in Albini (1976) and Scott and Burgan (2005) to be used as input of ros ( ) function. All values converted to metric format.

Load_1h: loading of 1h fuel class [t/ha]
Load_10h: loading of 10h fuel class [t/ha]
Load_100h: loading of 100h fuel class [t/ha]
Load_Live_Herb: loading of herbaceous fuels [t/ha]
Load_Live_Woody: loading of woody fuels [t/ha]
SA/V_1h: SAV of 1h fuel class [m2/m3]
SA/V_10h: SAV of 10h fuel class [m2/m3]
SA/V_100h: SAV of 100h fuel class [m2/m3]
SA/V_Live_Herb: SAV of herbaceous fuels [m2/m3]
SA/V_Live_Woody: SAV of woody fuels [m2/m3]
Fuel_Bed_Depth: fuel bed depth [cm]
Mx_dead: dead fuel moisture of extinction [percent]
Heat_1h: heat content of 1h fuel class [kJ/kg]
Heat_10h: heat content of 10h fuel class [kJ/kg]
Heat_100h: heat content of 100h fuel class [kJ/kg]
Heat_Live_Herb: heat content of herbaceous fuels [kJ/kg]
Heat_Live_Woody: heat content of woody fuels [kJ/kg]
