A Study on Fire Characteristic of Cork Oaks for Forest Fire Identification in Korea

초록

This study conducted an analysis of fire load of forest fuels to predict forest fire intensity and forest fire behavior. Fifth-grade cork oaks were selected for analyzing fire load. After measuring amounts of biomass, total weight found 428.9 kg, branch parts was 57.93 wt.%, and weight percentage was 42.07 wt.%. Branch parts (248.4 kg) emitted heats as 324,390.0 MJ/m(2) and stem parts (180.4 kg) generated heats as 2,720,432.2 MJ/m(2) based on the assumption that burning efficiency sets to 100%, branch parts emitted 1.84 times higher heat amounts than stem parts and total heat release of cork oaks turned out 596,433.2 MJ/m(2). For total smoke release, branch parts emitted 1.36 times more smoke than stem parts and total smoke release was reported to emit 1,044,128.6 m(2)/m(2). In addition, total carbon dioxide release of fifth-age class cork oaks was 865.3 kg and total emissions of carbon monoxide found 39.7 kg.
