Description: Fuel is an important determinant of fire behviour, and the main component that humans can manipulate to manage fires. In wildfires the main fuel is plants. We compared the flammability of different plant species to identify ones that could cause hot, damaging fires, as well as low flammability species which might help reduce fire spread.
