Abstract
â¶ Surface woody fuel loads in mulched treatments ranged between 27 and 63 Mg haâ1. â¶ Majority of fuels were concentrated in the 1-h and 10-h fuel size class. â¶ Mulch fuelbed depth a useful predictor of mulch fuelbed loading. â¶ Mulch fuelbeds are compact with bulk density exceeding 138 kg mâ3. â¶ Development of new fire behavior models for mulched fuelbed types is warranted.
