Laboratory Dataset on Self-ignition of Carbon-Rich Soil

<p>The file attached contains a complete set of experimental data from carbon-rich soil self-heating ignition cubic basket experiments for a range of soil inorganic content (IC) ranging from 3% to 86%. The experiments were carried out in a thermostatically controlled oven with thermocouples for measuring the ambient and soil temperatures. The data reported includes the dates of experiments, volume of soil baskets being tested, oven ambient temperature, inorganic content present in the sample, bulk density of the soil and if the sample ignited or not. This data is in support of the journal paper:</p> <p>F. Restuccia, X. Huang, G. Rein, <strong>Self-ignition of Natural Fuels: Can Wildfires of Carbon-Rich Soil Start by Self-heating?</strong>, <em>Fire Safety Journal </em>2017, http://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2017.03.052.</p>
