Spatial Variability of Wildland Fuel Characteristics in Northern Rocky Mountain Ecosystems

by KEANE, Kathy Gray, Robert E. Keene, et al.

We investigated the spatial variability of a number of wildland fuel characteristics for the major fuel components found in six common northern Rocky Mountain ecosystems. Surface fuel characteristics of loading, particle density, bulk density, and mineral content were measured for eight fuel components-four downed dead woody fuel size classes (1, 10, 100, 1000 hr), duff, litter, shrub, and herb-on nested plots located within sampling grids to describe...
