Potential Applications
There are many potential applications
for photo series assessments,
including:
-
Developing stand treatment options, such as prescribed fire or harvesting,
based on observed fuel characteristics.
-
Predicting fuel consumption, smoke production, fire behavior, and fire
effects for wildfires and prescribed fires, using models such as Consume
3.0 or FOFEM.
-
Estimating carbon storage in observed fuels.
-
Creating maps and
GIS layers representing live and dead fuel loadings.
-
Creating custom
fuel models.
-
Creating custom fuelbeds in the
Fuel Characteristic Classification System.
