heal.abstract	The relative particle foliar combustibility of seven dominant Mediterranean plant species from a wildland/urban interface (WUI) area near Athens has been determined, using thermal analysis (TG, DTG and SDTA) under oxygen atmosphere, calorimetry and a new lab-scale flame spread test. In addition, the moisture content, total ash content and elemental composition of forest species were determined, in order to correlate them with their combustibility. Based on the thermal-calorimetry analysis and flame spread test data, the examined forest species were ranked into categories. Thus, the most combustible fuel was Pinus halepensis and the least one was Cistus incanus. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.	en
