Summary
Abstract: Field data are collected to evaluate for modeled estimates of live and dead
aboveground woody forest biomass and develop correlations among fire-related
vegetation and biophysical parameters. To increase confidence in our biomass
estimation approach, we compare our model-derived estimates with eastern FIA
database forest biomass variables. One component of this evaluation ... View entire text

Quality To maintain data quality and accuracy, data collectors worked in teams that
rotated through a four-person field crew each day, thus team composition varied
by day. Additionally, each person worked with a supervisory data collector
every third day. A "tailgate" session was held at the beginning and ending of
each day to ... View entire text
