Sažetak
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of forest fires and burned areas in the wider Mediterranean area, including our country. The increased danger is present in all areas affected by the Mediterranean climate.
Climatic parameters have a great impact on fires. The most important climatic factors that are taken into account when it comes to forest fires are temperature and humidity or water (precipitation). The moisture content of live (LFMC) and dead fuel (DFMC) are complex phenomena that differ among tree species. Changes in moisture content are related to atmospheric conditions and available soil moisture on the one hand, and the eco-physical characteristics of the species on the other.
The results of these researches determined the exact values of live and dead fuel moisture content in the strawberry tree (Viburnum tinus L.). They should help as guidelines in the best possible fire policy, and in favour of sustainable management and preservation of public forest functions.
Taking into account the influence of the researched meteorological factors on the live fuel moisture content and the dead fuel moisture content, it can be concluded from the obtained results that the researched meteorological factors have an impact on the dead fuel moisture content, while there was no such impact on the live fuel moisture content.
