Abstract
The chemical and physical pyric properties of several species, dominant in the Mediterranean Basin, are quantified and compared with each other. Heat content and total and mineral (silica-free) ash content are measured and analysed for 13 species, while surface area-to-volume ratio and particle density are measured for 8 species.Keywords: forest fires, Mediterranean Basin, fuel hazard, flammability, heat content, ash content, particle density.
