Abstract

A sample of Sitka Spruce litter has been examined in a microcalorimeter at temperatures up to 58 degrees C, and kinetic parameters deduced from the results in a way which is explained step by step. The kinetic parameters were then used to predict the ignition temperature of the material in a field situation. Input to this calculation includes measured heat-release rate at incipient ignition of a different litter, reported independently.
