Abstract:

The frequent occurrence of forest fires in Xichang City posed great threat to local people's property and forest ecology.In order to effectively enhance the forest fire prevention capability,the fire resistance of bark of 6 tree species in mountain forest around Xichang City were measured and analyzed.Using entropy weight method and cluster analysis,the fire resistance performance of 6 tree species were sorted and classified,which is based on their comprehensive physicochemical properties and combustion performances differences.The results indicated that there were significant differences in the physicochemical properties and combustion performances of bark among the tree species.The thickness of the bark and the content of crude ash were relatively high,while the moisture content and crude fat content were relatively low in Sapindus mukorossi bark.The moisture content and ignition point of Phyllanthus emblica bark were significantly higher than those of other tree species,and the content of crude fibre and caloric value were significantly lower than those of other tree species.The bark thickness,the content of crude fat and lignin of Ligustrum lucidum bark were relatively low,and its ignition point was significantly lower than other that of tree species.The bark thickness,the content of crude fat,ignition point,and caloric value of Sapium sebiferum were all relatively high.The content of crude ash in Illicium simonsii bark was relatively low,and the content of crude fibre was significantly higher than that of other tree species.The bark of Pinus armandii had the lowest moisture content and significantly higher caloric value than that of other tree species.Bark fire resistance of the 6 tree species followed the order of S.mukorossi>P.emblica>L.lucidum>S.sebiferum>I.simonsii>P.armandii.The fire resistance of bark from 6 tree species could be divided into 3 class.S.mukorossi had better fire resistance and could be used as the local fire-resistant tree.The fire resistance of P.emblica,L.lucidum and S.sebiferum was average,which could be used in the construction of mixed forest in biological fire barriers.I.simonsii and P.armandii had poor fire resistance,which should be paid attention to fire prevention in large areas of pure forest.
