Fuel modeln. The set of fuelbed inputs needed by a fire model (Scott and Burgan 2005)
There are three types of fuel models used in the United States: 1) fire behavior fuel models used as input to fire behavior modeling systems that use Rothermel's surface fire spread model (1972), 2) fire danger fuel models used as input to the National Fire Danger Rating System, and 3) fuel loading models used as input to a model of fuel consumption.
