Abstract
Results of research in forest health and forest futures in Utah.
Key Results 1. Variable fuels: Fuels are highly variable on the landscape (upper left) - making estimations from transects difficult. 2. Slow to decay: Slow decay rates of Pinus deadwood can lead to high accumulations of loading - even after decades. 3. Brown's transects underestimate fuel: Brown’s transects underestimated fuels by 24%, compared to mapping all deadwood.
