Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Fresh terminal growth of Atriplex lentiformis did not burn as readily as comparable material of Salvia mellifera, Quercus dumosa and Rhus laurina in muffle-furnace tests.
- Intervention effect When samples of these species were heat-dried before testing, no differences in flammability were demonstrated.
- Mechanism The authors suggest the relatively high field moisture content of Atriplex is primarily responsible for its reduced flammability.
- Association The high ash content of Atriplex lentiformis had no apparent effect on flammability at 650 C.
- Observation Cistus ladaniferus required longer to burn than the other species tested, in fresh and heat-dried samples.
- Association The longer burning times of Cistus ladaniferus and Eriodictyon trichocalyx were not related to moisture content.
