Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield is in Hinesville, Georgia, approximately 30 miles west of Savannah. Of the 273,000 acres, 228,511 were prescribed burned across Fiscal Years 2019-2021. In 2022, E16.2 (254 hectares), E16.3 (257 hectares), F6.3 (260 hectares), F6.4 (397 hectares) were available for prescribed burning. Located in the western half of Fort Stewart, F6.3 and F6.4 (F units) are located just below Salem Cemetery and E16.2 and E16.3 are bisected by Taylors Creek. While E16.2 and E16.3 are two management units, they were sampled and burned as one unit, E units. The E units were last burned as one unit on February 28, 2019. F6.3 was last burned on April 13, 2019. F6.4 was last burned on April 14, 2019. In 2022, the research burns occurred on March 2nd (F6.4), 3rd (F6.3), and 5th (E units). In February 2022, 40 macroplots were randomly established in each burn unit for a total of 120 macroplots. In each burn unit, the macroplots were distributed across the dominant forest typesâwetland edge (10 plots), burn unit edge (10 plots), and upland pine, which includes flatwoods and remnant plantation (20 plots). The interior wetlands were not sampled as they are often inundated with water and typically do not ignite or contribute to fire spread. In the F units, 41 macroplots were randomly selected for pre- and post-burn 3D clip plot sampling, where 21 were in F6.3 and 20 in F6.4. In the F units, pre- and post-burn clip plots were sampled at 41 randomly selected macroplots. NOTE: Clip plots were not established or collected in the E units. Before and after the prescribed burns, photos were taken from the macroplot center in each cardinal direction at approximately 1.37 meters above the ground. Before the prescribed burn, nadir and oblique photos were taken at the pre- and post-burn clip plots. After the prescribed burn, a nadir and oblique photo was taken at each post-burn clip plot. Photographs were taken using multiple cameras: an Olympus Stylus Tough TG-4 camera and cameras built into the Samsung SM-G991U, Samsung SM-G973U, and Apple iPhone 11 phone models.
