Precipitation: Limits plant growth for short periods; particularly limiting during hot summers under mediterranean climate. Steppe pattern favors grasses. Major vegetation types: Subtropical forest, evergreen and semi-deciduous. Low, thick-leaved evergreen forest under mediterranean climate. Grassy woodland under steppe pattern. Ground-story vegetation: Woody plants are tree seedlings, vines, and shrubs. Coarse grass, palmetto, or similar plants under open canopy. Amount: Low to moderate dry weight. Moisture content: High most of year; drops slightly in dry season. Litter layer: Mainly current leaf fall. Little accumulation of dead material. Total Available fuel weight on a good burning day: 0.16 pounds per square foot. Burn days Short burn season, or seasons-usually totaling I to 3 months-almost every year. Desiccation needs: Must remove forest canopy and kill understory plants for successful burning. Use either foliar sprays or an application of pellets to the soil. Foliar sprays: Apply a defoliant spray at least 6 months ahead of planned burning date. Under humid or monsoon climates, wait at least 6 weeks and apply a repeat spray. Under mediterranean or steppe climate, a second spray should not be needed. On each date apply per acre: 8 lbs., a.e., of a 1:1 mix of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T plus 2 Ibs., a.e., of picloram ester, both combined in diesel oil to make 5 gallons of total mixture. The picloram can be omitted under mediterranean and steppe climates. SECRET B-17.
