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.
