Standard fuel models (Albini 1976, Scott & Burgan 2005)
Description
Standard fuel models converted to metric system. Copied from package 'Rothermel' (Giorgio Vacchiano, Davide Ascoli).
Format
A data frame including standard fuel models as in Albini (1976) and Scott and Burgan (2005), to be used as input of fire_Rothermel function. All values converted to metric format.
