Abstract (en)
This doctoral dissertation addresses the growing risk of wildfires in
Serbia, which has been intensified by climate change. The research is
grounded in the identified lack of reliable data on the flammability of
fresh plant material typical of Serbia’s forest ecosystems, which is
essential for understanding and predicting wildfire behavior.
For the purposes of the research, an experimental setup was developed
and applied, integrating a mass loss calorimeter for determining heat
release rate and an FTIR gas analyzer for real-time measurement of
combustion products. This approach enabled a comprehensive analysis
of ignition and combustion processes under controlled laboratory
conditions.
The study systematically examined the influence of key factors on the
flammability of dominant coniferous and broadleaf species. It analyzed
the effects of moisture content, ignition type (piloted and non-piloted),
and levels of incident heat flux on combustion dynamics and gas
emissions. An integrated assessment was also conducted on the
influence of morphological traits (leaf/needle size, thickness, and
density) and chemical characteristics (content of terpenes, alkanes, and
other compounds) on flammability parameters. A notable
methodological contribution is the analysis of measurement reliability
and repeatability depending on the configuration of sample holders.
The results demonstrated a clear relationship between the analyzed
factors and vegetation behavior during fire exposure. It was found that
chemical composition predominantly influences the flammability of
coniferous species, while morphological characteristics and moisture
content are critical for broadleaf species. The dissertation establishes
an important database that can be used to improve wildfire spread
models, support preventive planning, and enhance forest ecosystem
management, thus directly contributing to wildfire protection in Serbia.
