You could go into the bush and mark out some transects (basically, squares of land of equal size ), and then take sample of the plants growing there and test their flammability etc in a lab. Then for the same transects estimate the percentage cover provided by those particular plants and then calculate how susceptible to fire that area is. If you did this for a couple of different environments you could compare the vulnerability of different areas. Maybe compare a disturbed habitat with weeds etc with one that is closer to natural state?<br><b>References : </b><br> Your flammability idea is pretty good actually.
