Upscaling the estimation of surface-fire rate of spread in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) forest

The prediction of the forward rate of forest fire spread is crucial to fire modeling and fire management. An empirical equation is available to estimate the rate of spread of surface fires in maritime pine stands from local fuel, terrain and weather conditions. However, the equation was primarily de...
