Sažetak	Forest fire risk assessment quantifies the probability and potential severity of wildfire in forest ecosystems, integrating stand structure, fuel characteristics, weather patterns, and topography. Developed by Van Wagner, Rothermel, and fire science communities, fire risk models predict fire ignition likelihood, fire behavior (spread rate, intensity), and consequences (area burned, damage extent). Essential for land management planning, community protection, and ecosystem conservation.	Stand basal area is a fundamental forest mensuration metric representing the total cross-sectional area of tree stems per unit land area, typically expressed in square meters per hectare. Formalized across twentieth-century forestry literature (notably by Husch, Beers, and Kershaw), basal area serves as a key indicator of forest density, biomass accumulation, and competitive pressure, essential for yield prediction and stand management planning.
