Canopy
- Snags
The Snag category of the Canopy stratum is
divided into four subcategories:
- Decay class 1 with foliage:
Recently dead conifers that still have most of their foliage in
addition to bark, branches and tree top.
- Decay class 1 without
foliage: Recently dead trees that still have bark, branches and top
intact.
- Decay class 2: Snags that
have shed fine branches but retain coarse branches and bark.
- Decay class 3: Snags with
extensive heartwood decay and that no longer have bark, branches or a
tree top.
Not
all
categories may apply to specific fuelbeds. Unused snag subcategories
are grayed
out and the "not present" button is checked.
