A Simple Technique to Estimate the Flammability Index of Moroccan Forest Fuels
Table 6
Moroccan species classification using their flammability index (FI) values calculated from their linear equations () and their average moisture content of their leaves or needles determined during the critical summer period from July to September.

FI-value classification scale: least flammable (FI < 0.5), less flammable (0.5 ≤ FI <1.5), moderately flammable (1.5 ≤ FI < 2.5), flammable (2.5 ≤ FI <3.5), highly flammable (3.5 ≤ FI < 4.5), and most flammable (4.5 ≤ FI). |
