Abstract

In response to Cruzet al.(2020b) (hereafter: CSG20), we would like to clarify that we are committed to further research into the mechanisms that drive fire spread in grassland fuels, and are open to making the most of synergies that exist between various programs of research. As demonstrated by Filippiet al.(2013), Kochanskiet al.(2013), Clementset al.(2019), etc., there is much to be gained by combining detailed experimental data with rigorous computational modelling.
