Publisher:
Publish Date: 2003-10-01
Features: This book first systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of heat transfer, combustion chemistry, and combustion physics related to wildfires, providing a theoretical foundation for analyzing forest fires and wildfire behavior. Then, by analyzing wood and forest combustion, wildfire environment, and wildfire behavior, it offers a theoretical basis for wildfire management. On this basis, the book explores specific issues of wildfire management from aspects such as wildfire prediction and forecasting, wildfire monitoring, planned burns, wildfire suppression, and wildfire management economics. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students in forest fire prevention, a training manual for wildfire management personnel, and a reference book for engineers and technicians engaged in wildfire research, teaching, and management.
