Assessing and predicting the curing of grasslands

Degree of curing refers to the proportion of cured and dead material in grasslands. It is a critical input into grassland fire behaviour and fire danger models. Current curing inputs are often inaccurate, leading to incorrect determination of grassland fire danger levels and potential fire behaviour. Fire managers need accurate information in order to protect life and property.
