Would anyone have any information pertaining to the identification of fire-resistive vegetation. These are not plants that will regenerate quickly post-fire, or have dormant seeds stimulated by the fire (often termed fire-resistant) but those plants that will NOT burn (to a certain extent). Charactersitics of fire-resistive vegtation may play a role in management and the preventative measures to lower the chances of fire destroying your property (or plantation). Therfore locating or collating a list of plants that won't burn could be useful as an effective preventative measure. Some characteristics common to fire-resistive vegetation include high mositure content, high salt content, high mineral ash content etc. Anyone with information or (ideally) references would be grateful.
