Measurements of thermal diffusivities of packed beds of vegetation litter were performed. Such diffusivities were found to have values in the region of 2 x 10m3 cm' s-', depending on the density of the sample.

This paper presents an analysis of the critical conditions of thermal ignition for a porous slab lying on a nonpermeable surface. It is shown that, for a large dimensionless adiabatic temperature rise, the influence of the oxygen consumption on the critical parameter of thermal ignition there is thr
