N2  - A simple and efficient numerical scheme is presented for the prediction of temperature field distribution inside a tree trunk subjected to ground fire conditions. The trunk is modelled by a cylinder of circular cross section and unit length, through which the time-dependent heat conduction equation is numerically integrated. The model is partly validated in laboratory and then applied to the case of a prescribed ground fire inside a Pinus pinmter stand.
