Inflammability of Pinus halepensis

In the framework of the prevention of the forest fires, the thermal analysi s technics can be used to determine the behavior of the vegetable to the he at. The different aerial parts (needle, branch, cone) of Pinus halepensis ( Aleppo Pine) present thermal analysis curves of DTA and DTG close enough, w hatever are the degree of maturation and the date of the picking. The choic e of the maximal decomposition rate at about 300 degrees by DTG of the drie d powder of the vegetable samples containing cellulose, holocellulose, lign in, as bio-polymers, may be perhaps considered as important in the risk eva luation of ignition.
