The Forest Fires Impact on Bark Chemical Composition of the Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.)

Forest fires occur with uncontrolled fire in the forests. They are causing great damage, which depends on the age of the forest, the tree species, the vegetation and the type of fire and its intensity, which are less common with natural causes and most often by human activity. In the Republic of Croatia fires occur most commonly in Dalmatia, the islands and the Dalmatian Zagora. Since in the mentioned areas after the fire, significant quantities of fire burned trees have been left behind, the question arises as to what degree they are chemically degraded or whether they still possess all the properties for further application in mechanical or chemical processing. The aim of this paper was to research the group chemical composition and CHNS/O of the Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) bark before and after the impact of low ground fire and high fire of the treetops at the height of the trees of 0, 2 and 4 m. The obtained results showed significant differences in the group chemical composition, as well as in CHNS/O of the bark between nonburned and burned wood resulting from the direct contact of the mentioned fire with the bark.
