Determine the slope limiting distance to borderline trees by using the “Slope Correction Table” (The slope being corrected is the slope from plot center to the tree, not the overall plot slope.). Measure the distance parallel to the ground line to the borderline tree. This method always results in an oval plot on the slope.

Aspect is the compass direction of the prevailing slope with respect to true north. A horizontal angular measure from true north to an object of interest. The cross-sectional area of the stem or stems of a plant or of all plants in a stand, generally expressed as square units per unit area. For trees, measured at 4.5 feet above ground, for forbs and grasses, measured at the root crown. The straight-line distance measured parallel to the main bole of a tree, from its base to its tip. A point located on the uphill side of the main stem, by measuring 4.5 feet along the uphill side of the bole from ground level or the predominant root collar. Preclude slight, non-compacted litter accumulations when establishing breast height. Classification and Assessment with LANDSAT of Visible Ecological Groupings. It is a California-wide system for classifying vegetative and non-vegetative cover types. The primary cover type relates to life form and uses a 3-character alpha code. The percent of a fixed area covered by the crown of an individual plant species or delimited by the vertical projection of its outermost perimeter; small openings in the crown are included. The percent of the total height of the tree that supports a full, live crown. For trees that have uneven length crowns, occularly transfer lower branches to fill holes in the upper portions of the crown, until a full, even crown is created. A land area, usually between 3,000 and 8,000 acres, easily identified on the ground by physical features. A compartment is comparable in size to a subwatershed, or landscape management unit. It is used as a convenience for maintaining stand records and planning vegetation management projects. The relative position of the tree or shrub crown with respect to the competing vegetation around it. Crown class for each tree or shrub is judged in the context of its immediate environment, that its, those trees or shrubs which are competing for sunlight with the subject tree or shrub. The vertical distance from the top of the leader to the base of the crown, measured to the lowest live branch-whorl with live branches in at least 3 quadrants, and continuous with the main crown. The ratio of compacted live crown length to bole length. Lengths are measured parallel to the bole from the base of the tree to the tip. Digital Elevation Model. USGS geographic elevation data distributed in raster form. Digital representation of the shape of the earth's surface. Typically, digital elevation data consists of arrays of values that represent topographic elevations measured at equal intervals on the Earth's surface. The length of a straight-line segment passing through the center of an item and terminating at its periphery. A measure at breast height (4.5 feet), outside bark, of the tree bole, perpendicular to the tree bole. The straight line passing through the center of a cross section of a bole measured at the root collar of a shrub or tree. Stem material (conifer or hardwood) that is lying on the ground. If a stem material is leaning more than 45 degrees from vertical, is not self-supporting, and/or in contact with the ground, it is considered a down log.

Duff is the fermentation and humus layer of the forest floor. It does not include the freshly cast material in the litter layer. The top of the duff is where needles, leaves, and other cast-off vegetative material have noticeably begun to decompose. Individual particles usually will be bound by fungi mycelium. When moss is present, the top of the duff is just below the green portion of the moss. The bottom of the duff is the start of the soil (“A” horizon). Vertical distance from a datum, usually mean sea level, to a point or object on the earth’s surface. Not to be confused with altitude, which refers to points above the earth’s surface. The fuel bed is the accumulation of dead, woody residue on the forest floor. It begins at the top of the duff layer and above. It includes litter, dead limbwood and bolewood from tree species, as well as dead material from shrub, herbaceous, and grass species. Mathematical descriptions of fuel properties (e.g. fuel load and fuel depth) that are used as inputs to calculations of fire danger indices and fire behavior potential. Global Positioning System. A network of radio-emitting satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Ground-based GPS receivers can automatically derive accurate surface coordinates for all kinds of GIS, mapping, and surveying data collection. The forest floor, made up by soil and duff layer. It does not include unincorporated woody debris that may rise above the ground line. In reference to a point of measure, it is the highest point of the ground touching the base of the object being referenced. A count of one or more items of the same type or species and recorded as a single line entry. A measure of the increase in growth layers for a specified time frame. The increase in height over a set period of time. Measurement of diameter at a point where the sampling plane intersects the geometric center of the object being tallied. No adjustment is made for stem irregularities at the point of intersection. The deflection from vertical, > 15 degrees of a straight line passing through the geometric center of the base and top of the main stem. The measurement of the extent of something along its greatest dimension. Species and individuals that are grouped into classes on the basis of their similarities in structure and function. A growth form that displays an obvious relationship to important environmental factors. A comparative measurement between the subplot radius and the distance from the subplot center to the center of the object. The comparison is used to determine whether the object is IN or OUT of the fixed area subplot. IN - The object is “in” if the measured distance is equal to or less than the subplot radius. OUT - The object is “out” if the measured distance is greater than the subplot radius. The straight-line distance measured parallel to the main bole of a tree, from the top of the live crown to the base of the live crown.

A deviation from the horizontal. A code that represents a fundamental category of taxonomic classification of an organism. A spatially continuous group of trees and associated vegetation having similar structures and growing under similar soil and climatic conditions. Basic data collection method for stand exams. It consists of a set of plots, separated by equal distances on a grid pattern. The lines of the grid (transects) are oriented in cardinal directions. There is a predetermined distance between plots. The number of transects and grid plots will vary depending upon the size and shape of the stand. A method of sampling forest resources where stands or polygons of similar properties are lumped into strata. This improves the efficiency of an inventory by reducing the variability within a given population. The less variability there is within a strata, the fewer samples will need to be taken to achieve a statistically valid result. A group of stands within a condition class; similar characteristics such as forest type, tree size class, and canopy density. The woody base of a tree remaining in contact with the soil after the trunk or main stem has been severed at a point less than 4.5 feet above ground height (measured on the uphill side). A woody perennial plant, typically large, with a single well-defined stem carrying a more or less definite crown.

Generally less than one-third of the area contains shrubs or timber. Grasslands and savanna are represented along with stubble, grass-tundra, and grass-shrub combinations. Annual and perennial grasses are included in this fuel model. Herbaceous material with litter and dead-down stem wood from the open shrub or timber overstory. Open shrub lands and pine stands or scrub oak stands that cover one-third to two-thirds of the area. Stand may include clumps and may include pinyon-juniper Stands are tall, averaging about three feet, but considerable variation may occur. Approximately one-third or more of the stand is considered dead and cured. May include cultivated grains that have not been harvested, tall prairie, and marshland grasses. Stands of mature shrubs, 6 feet or more tall such as California mixed chaparral, the high pocosin along the east coast, the pine barrens of New Jersey, or the closed jack pine stands of the north-central states. Besides flammable foliage, stand may contain dead woody material. May contain a deep litter layer. Shrubs are young with little dead material, and the foliage contains little volatile material. Usually shrubs are short and almost totally cover the area. Young, green stands with no dead wood qualify: laurel, vine maple, alder, or even chaparral, manzanita, or chamise. The shrubs are older, but not as tall as model 4, nor do they contain as much fuel as model 4. This model covers a broad range of shrub conditions: intermediate stands of chamise, chaparral, oak brush, low pocosin, Alaskan spruce taiga, and shrub tundra. May include hardwood slash that has cured. Pinyonjuniper shrub lands may be represented. Stands of shrubs are generally between 2 and 6 feet high. Palmetto-galliberry understory, with a pine overstory, is typical. Low pocosin may be represented. Black spruce shrub combinations in Alaska may also be represented. Contains closed canopy stands of short needle conifers or hardwoods that have leafed out. The compact litter layer is mainly needles, leaves, and occasionally twigs because little undergrowth is present. Representative conifer types are white pine, lodgepole pine, spruce, fir, and larch. Both long-needle conifer stands and hardwood stands, especially the oak-hickory types, are typical. Closed stands of long-needled pine like ponderosa, Jeffrey, red pines, or southern pine plantations are grouped in this model. May contain concentrations of dead-down woody material. Dead-down fuels include quantities of 3-inch or larger limb wood resulting from over maturity or natural events that create a large load of dead material on the forest floor. Any forest type may be considered if heavy down material is present; examples are insect- or disease-ridden stands, wind thrown stands, overmature situations with deadfall, and aged light thinning or partial cut slash. Contains slash and herbaceous material intermixed with slash. Light partial cuts or thinning operations in mixed conifer stands, hardwood stands, and southern pine harvests are considered. Clearcuts generally produce more slash than represented here. The less than 3-inch material load is less than 12 tons per acre. The greater than 3 inch is represented by not more than 10 pieces, 4 inches in diameter, along a 50 foot transect The visual impression is dominated by slash and much of it is less than 3 inches in diameter. The fuels are well distributed. Heavily thinned conifer stands; clearcuts, and medium or heavy partial cuts are represented. The material larger than 3 inches is represented by encountering 11 pieces, 6 inches in diameter along a 50 foot transect There is a continuous layer of slash. Large quantities of material larger than 3 inches are present. Clearcuts and heavy partial cuts in mature and over mature stands are depicted where the slash load is dominated by the greater than 3 inch diameter material. Fuels less than 3 inches are generally only 10 percent of the total load. May include situations where the slash still has “red” needles attached. Land covered by urban and suburban development. The area must not support wildland fire spread. In some cases the area may experience structural fire losses during a wildland fire incident; however, structure ignition in those cases is either house-to-house or by firebrands, neither of which is directly modeled using fire behavior fuel models. If sufficient vegetation surrounds structures such that wildland fire spread is possible, then choose a fuel model appropriate for the wildland vegetation.

Areas covered by seasonal snow and ice can be mapped to two different fuels models. Agricultural land maintained in a nonburnable condition; examples include irrigated annual crops, mowed or tilled orchards, and so forth. However, there are many agricultural areas that are not kept in a non burnable condition. For example, grass is often allowed to grow beneath vines or orchard trees, and wheat or similar crops are allowed to cure before harvest; in those cases use a different fuel model. Land covered by open bodies of water such as lakes, rivers and oceans. Land devoid of enough fuel to support wildland fire spread. Such areas include gravel pits, arid deserts with little vegetation, sand dunes, rock outcroppings, beaches and so forth. The primary carrier of fire is sparse grass, though small amounts of fine fuel may be present. The grass is generally short, either naturally or by grazing, and may be sparse or discontinuous. The moisture extraction is indicative of a dry climate fuelbed, but may also be applied in high-extinction moisture fuelbeds because in both cases predicted spread rate and flame length are low compare to other grass models.
