The phrase "fire tolerance" is correct and can be used in written English.
It refers to the ability or capacity of something to withstand or endure exposure to fire. You can use it when talking about how well a building, material, or organism is able to withstand fire. Example: The fire department conducted tests to determine the fire tolerance of the new building materials, ensuring that they would be safe for use in high-risk areas.
However, desert grasslands of the southwestern United States often lack needed herbaceous fuel loads for effective prescriptions, dominant perennial graminoids may have poor fire tolerance, and some systems contain fire-tolerant invasive species.
The moderate fire regime, similar to what is considered the current fire regime in the southern California foothills, resulted in a younger landscape where the facultative resprouter persisted along with the long-lived shade tolerant functional groups, but the obligate seeder with low fire tolerance disappeared, despite its moderate shade tolerance.
The key aspects covered include aloe distribution, ecophysiology, functional role in the ecosystem, population dynamics, fire tolerance, resprouting, pollination ecology, seed biology, economic botany and conservation.
We assessed traits of fire resistance (bark thickness and bark density) and fire tolerance (mortality and sprouting type, basal or epicormic) in each species.
After 400 years, the landscape becomes increasingly occupied by relatively shade-tolerant species under small, infrequent fires, but only species with both relatively high shade tolerance and high fire tolerance can thrive under conditions with large, frequent fires.
Fire severity also varies based on species-specific fire tolerance level (Table 2) and cohort age, with younger cohorts more susceptible to fire mortality than older cohorts (see Scheller et al. 2007).
The fact that the shoot tips of Attalea seedlings are underground it likely to contribute to their fire-tolerance.
"The church doesn't fire priests for tolerance; it condemns those who are intolerant," Goodness said.
Additional traits may be important for survival, growth, and reproduction in B. tectorum-invaded areas, including germination timing, fire and/or grazing tolerance, and disease resistance, which also warrant investigation.
Will your museum encourage honest debate on issues like this? Martial rhetoric is seldom a sure-fire sign of tolerance for dissent.
If some like it hot, the Thais really like it hot, and ordering a dish spiced at the top of their heat scale can be dangerous for anyone not certain of his tolerance for fire in edible form.
