Overview

Basics

Basics
Survey fuel treatment areas impacted by the Caldor fire to measure fire effects to vegetation using standard measures of fire severity and tree mortality. This work will compliment studies being carried out by other teams of fuel treatment influences on fire-fighting effectiveness and structure protection.
