Photos for Estimating Residue Loadings Before and After Burning in Southern Appalachian Mixed Pine-Hardwood Clearcuts

摘要

Paired photographs show fuel conditions before and after burning in recently clearcut stands of mixed pine-hardwoods in the Southern Appalachians. Comparison with the photos permits fast assessment of fuel loading and probable burning success. Information with each photo includes measured weights, volumes, and other residue data, information about the timber stand and harvest, and weather conditions at time of broadcast burn ignition.
