Resumo: http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/1980509815727The National Park ‘Serra de Itabaiana’, as well as other conservation units in Brazil, has commonly suffered ecological losses caused by the wildfires. It is essential to comprehend the characteristics of the fuel to a better understanding of a forest fire behavior and how to extinguish it. In order to do so, 108 plots of 1m2 were delimitated and all of the surface fuel was collected and weighed. The samples were then removed and placed in an oven to determine the moisture content and the dry weight. It was collected, in the study area, a total of 91.38 kg of dry biomass, corresponding to 8.46t/ha. Considering each vegetation type, the Grass Fields had an average of 3.7t/ha of fuel load, the Forests 12.5t/ha and the White Sands 9.18t/ha. The results suggest that the fuel in white sand areas can ignite more easily; there is greater difficulty of fire ignition in forest areas; and short-lived fires in grass fields.

Sendo assim, torna-se essencial compreender as características do material combustível para um melhor entendimento do comportamento do fogo e como melhor combatê-lo. Para tal, foram demarcadas 108 parcelas de 1 m2 onde todo o material combustível superficial foi coletado e pesado. Subamostras foram retiradas e colocadas na estufa para determinar o teor de umidade e o peso da matéria seca. No total, foram coletados, dentro da área de estudo, 91,38 kg de biomassa seca, correspondente a 8,46 t/ha. Considerando cada fitofisionomia individualmente, os Campos Graminosos apresentaram uma média de 3,7 t/ha de material combustível, as Matas 12,5 t/ha e as Areias Brancas 9,18 t/ha. Os resultados obtidos sugerem maior facilidade de ignição do material combustível nas áreas de Areias Brancas; maior dificuldade de ignição nas áreas de Matas; e incêndios de curta duração nas áreas de Campos Graminosos.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2014-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/466310.5902/1980509815727Ciência Florestal; Vol. 24 No. 3 (2014); 699-706Ciência Florestal; v. 24 n. 3 (2014); 699-7061980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/4663/9511White, Benjamin Leonardo AlvesRibeiro, Adauto de SouzaWhite, Larissa Alves SecundoRibeiro, Genésio Tâmarainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-04-13T11:24:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15727Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2017-04-13T11:24:46Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
