Dans biens des cas, c'est une réaction biologique qui est responsable de l'échauffement des produits agricoles. Il s'agit le plus souvent d'une oxydation facilitée par la présence de microorganismes, en milieu humide. Pour que le foin s'échauffe jusqu'à s'enflammer, il faudrait, d'après des rapports, que la teneur en humidité atteigne la proportion élevée de 33 %. 2, record 1, French, - s%27%C3%A9chauffer
