Abstract

A total of 56 photographs shows different levels of natural fuel loadings for selected size classes in seven forest types of the southern Cascade and northern Sierra-Nevada ranges. Data provided with each photo include size, weight, volumes, residue depths, and percent of ground coverage. Stand information includes sizes, weights, and volumes of the trees sampled for the inventory. Instructions for using the photos to describe natural fuel accumulations are provided.
