 Savannah River Site
 In collaboration with Savannah River Site staff, FERA completed work
with the Southern Research Station at the Savannah River Site in
South Carolina to assess fuels and fire hazard, and the potential for fuels
consumption. We developed and analyzed a matrix of FCCS fuelbeds
and fire behavior predictions (table
1) that represent the range of current and anticipated surface
fire behavior and crown fire potentials in each of seven land cover
and stand age types.
Results were printed in a special issue of the journal Forest Ecology and Management.
