Trees and saplings were measured post-fire in a total of 61 fixed-radius plots within burn units E, F-6.3, and F-6.4 from March 2-6, 2022. Plot center coordinates were recorded using professional-grade GNSS receivers. Receivers logged a total >100 raw locations per plot center. Raw locations were then differential corrected and averaged via post processing to produce one corrected location per plot center, with an estimated horizontal accuracy of <1 m. All trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH, 1.37 m above ground) >10 cm were measured within fixed-radius plots with radii of 11.3 m. Measurements included tree species, DBH, and health status. For the largest and smallest (DBH) trees per plot per species, tree height, tree crown base height, and tree live crown base height were also recorded. Saplings, defined as trees <1.37 m in height and <10 cm in DBH, were tallied by quadrant within smaller nested fixed-radius plots (plot radii = 5.6 m) that shared the same center point as the larger tree plots. Recorded sapling attributes included a tally of saplings by quadrant, sapling species, and sapling health. After differential correction, plot locations were displayed and inspected in a geographic information system to check for anomalous locations. Tree and sapling observation values were also checked for logical consistency and anomalous values. Categorical variables such as tree species code were checked and data entry errors were corrected. Continous variable distributions were checked for unrealistic values and outliers. Four tree observations were found to have recorded live crown base heights that were lower than crown base heights (logically impossible); for these trees, recorded live crown base heights were raised to recorded crown base heights. This change was only significant for one tree record, Tree #1 of Plot F47, where live crown base height was raised from 14.4 to 16.3 m to match the recorded crown base height of 16.3 m. |
