Abstract

Combustion experiments of living branches and leaves of 25 woody plants in Kunming area were conducted with a combustion device designed by the authors. The combustion characteristic parameters，namely the ratio between area of smoke temperature net rising curves apices per unit mass fuel in flaming stage and ignition time，were put forward based on lighting time，smoke temperature and weight losing in flaming stage. The combustibility orders were put forward based on combustion characteristic parameters. According to the combustibility，biological，ecological，silvics and economic characters of 25 woody plants，Myrica rubra var. typica，Myrica rubra var. atropurpurea，Camellia aleifera，Illicium simonsii，Myrica esculenta，Acacia dealbata，Alnus nepalensis and Exbucklandia populnea were fire-resistant tree species. Myrica rubra var. typica，Myrica rubra var. atropurpurea and Camcllia aleifera were the best choices as fire-prevention and fire-resistant tree species. Rhododendron siderophyllum，Rhododendron decorum，Vaccinium sprengelii，Michelia yunnanensi，Eurya japonica and Ternstroemia gymmanthera were hard combustible but not good fire-resistant tree species and could be applied as fire-prevention species for forestation. ［Ch，2 fig. 2 tab. 25 ref.］
