Photo Series by Volume
Photo series sites were selected to show a range of fuel and vegetation conditions depending on the ecosystem type. The following table summarizes the main ranges depicted in each photo series.
 
Volume Photo Series Represented Range(s)
Volume I
(Interior Pacific Northwest)		 Mixed-conifer with mortality Down and dead woody material loading and degree of tree mortality.
Western juniper Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) density.
Sagebrush Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) density.
Grassland Total aboveground biomass.
Volume II
(Alaska)		 Black spruce Tree size and density.
White spruce Tree size and density and down and dead woody material loadings.

Volume IIa
(Alaska hardwoods)

 Hardwoods with spruce Spruce (Picea spp.) density.
Volume III
(Rocky Mountains)		 Lodgepole pine Down and dead woody material loading.
Quaking aspen Down and dead woody material loading.
Gambel oak Aboveground live woody biomass.
Volume IV
(Southwest)		 Pinyon-juniper Total aboveground biomass.
Sagebrush Aboveground shrub biomass.
Chaparral Total aboveground biomass.
Volume V
(Midwest)		 Red and white pine Down and dead woody material loading.
Northern tallgrass prairie Total aboveground biomass.
Mixed oak Down and dead woody material loading.

Volume Va
(Midwest Jack Pine)

 Jack pine ecosystems Crown closure.
Volume VI
(Southeast)		 Longleaf pine Biomass of understory vegetation.
Pocosin shrublands and woodlands Aboveground shrub biomass.  There are two subseries (shrub and woodland pocosin) in this series.
Marsh grass Total aboveground biomass.
Volume VIa
(Southeast sandhill, sand pine and hardwoods)		 Sand hill Turkey oak (Quercus laevis) relative density.
Sand pine scrub Sand pine (Pinus clausa) density.
Hardwoods with white pine Degree of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) invasion in hardwood forests.
Volume VII
(Washington, Oregon & California)		 Oregon white oak Crown closure.
California deciduous oak Crown closure.
Mixed conifer with shrubs Shrubs coverage.
PNW-GTR-545
(Hawaii)		 Grassland Grassland groups based on primary species composition.  Where multiple sites have similar species, they are in order of increasing aboveground vegetation biomass.
Shrubland Total aboveground vegetation biomass.
Woodland Aboveground understory vegetation biomass.
Forest Forest groups based on primary species composition.  Broadleaf-dominated forests are followed by an assortment of conifer-dominated forests including slash pine plantation sites.  Where multiple sites have similar species, they are in order of increasing crown closure.
