Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemical composition of the plants and organic debris does affect the energy release in a fire. Different types of plants and debris have different energy content and combustion properties, which can affect the rate and intensity of the fire. For example, dry pine needles burn more readily than wet leaves, and hardwoods release more energy than softwoods.
