Synopsis

A practical guide to predicting how forest floor duff and downed woody fuels burn during prescribed fires.

This study compiles data from several prescribed-fire investigations in western Montana and northern Idaho to build easy-to-use predictive equations. It shows how moisture content, especially lower and entire duff moisture, and preburn fuel depth influence how much duff and woody fuels burn. The work translates complex data into formulas practitioners can apply to planning and safety, with options that work for both slash and nonslash fuels.

• Clear, regression-based relationships to estimate duff consumption and mineral soil exposure


• Practical equations using variables you can measure in the field


• Insights into how moisture indices relate to burn outcomes and smoke production


• Guidance on using the results for site preparation, fuel management, and prescribed-fire planning

Ideal for fire managers, foresters, and researchers seeking a grounded, field-friendly approach to predicting fuel consumption during prescribed burns.
