Abstract

By collecting 30 years of meteorological information from 1971 to 2000，by surveying fire sites of spot fires，and by gathering local topographic data，environmental characteristics of spot fires for a Pinus yunnanensis forest were gained. Results showed that meteorological factors during the dry season，especially in March，were favorable for spot fires. During March，air temperature increased with relative humidity （53%） and the minimal relative humidity （3%） being lowest for the year; however，average wind speed （29 mmin－1），maximal average wind speed （16.3 mmin－1），and gale days （16.3 d） reached the annual maximum. In addition，average precipitation in March was less than 20 mm；whereas，evaporation was 263 mm for the second highest monthly rate of the year. Topography and terrain were also beneficial to forming spot fires with the relative elevation between 200 to 1 000 m in the Anning City area being very steep （60.7%）. Also，climate increased chances of spot fires. The distribution of Pinus yunnanensis was confined to southern branch of western circumfluence during spring and winter，which was the dormant period for Pinus yunnanensis trees，shrubs，and herbs. Thus，combustibility was too weak to easily ignite，spread，and form spot fires.［Ch，5 fig. 2 tab. 26 ref.］
