De la même manière qu'il existe une typologie des forêts protectrices, il existe des modèles de combustibles forestiers. Ces modèles se fondent sur la typologie de la structure des combustibles pour expliquer le comportement du feu lors d’incendies de forêt. L'ampleur des incendies de forêt dépend dans une grande mesure de la sévérité du feu qui est, à son tour, très influencée par la quantité de combustible consommé durant l'incendie. Les modèles de combustibles nous fournissent cette information et nous permettent alors d’estimer le comportement du feu dans les différentes formations forestières. 1, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20de%20combustibles%20forestiers
