Resumen

Este trabajo presenta la metodología utilizada para el desarrollo de un mapa de combustibles para el Continente Africano, utilizando el Sistema FCCS (Fuel Characteristic Classification System). La cartografía de los perfiles de combustible se basó en el uso de información cartográfica global obtenida mediante teledetección, y las variables asociadas se extrajeron de bases de datos de vegetación existentes. Se generaron un total de 75 perfiles de combustible, y a partir de las variables asignadas a cada uno se calcularon distintos Potenciales de Incendio utilizando valores de variables ambientales estándar. Estos potenciales permiten estimar el comportamiento del fuego de superficies, el fuego de copas, y la cantidad de combustible disponible, en función de las características de la vegetación existente.
