The consequences of ground fire for pine trees of different Kraft classes in Kharkiv city green zone
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2012, Vol 121, Issue
Abstract
The changes in condition of pine forests after ground fires of different intensity and consequences were analysed. For each of Kraft tree dominance classes there are correlation between stand condition indices and percentage of dead standing trees having different tree trunk scorch height. Traits of post-fire changes in the stand based on comparison of conditions of I-III Kraft classes trees with their coarse bark height were revealed. High correlations between tree trunk scorch height and such characteristics as condition index and a part of dead standing trees for whole stand were stated. We can use these results not only to reduce the economic losses but also to select the trees, which will be dry out soon, for cutting for other trees saving.
