Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield is in Hinesville, Georgia, approximately 30 miles west of Savannah. For a full study site description, see Loudermilk et al. 2023. In 2024, E11.5 (597 acres, 242 hectares), E16.2 (628 acres, 254 hectares), and E16.3 (636 acres, 257 hectares) were available for prescribed burning. Located in the western half of Fort Stewart, Units E16.2 and E16.3 are bisected by Taylors Creek. E11.5 is just east of E16.3, where numbered dirt roads 9A is a west boundary and 4A is the east boundary. While E16.2 and E16.3 are two management units, they were sampled and burned as one unit, E units. E11.5 was burned on February 8, 2024, and the E units were burned on February 10, 2024. During each burn, vegetation was collected at an adjacent burn unit with similar land cover, species composition, and time since the last burn. Three replicates of a fuel type were collected one to three times throughout the prescribed burn day. Sample collection typically started near the test fire window and continued every 60-90 minutes until burning operations were complete. The number of times a fuel type was sampled varied based on data needs, accessibility, and prescribed burn duration. 1-hour, 10-hour, and 100-hour fuels were collected twice each day. Living and attached needles from longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) or slash pine (P. elliotii) seedlings were collected once each day. Detached and dead longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) or slash pine (P. elliotii) needles were collected three times each day. Intact, nondegraded pine cones from longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), slash pine (P. elliottii), or loblolly pine (P. taeda) were collected twice each day. Twice each day, on the flatwoods landcover type, mature, live leaves from gallberry (Ilex spp.), sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum), and/or wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) were collected. Mature, live leaves of lyonia (Lyonia spp.) and bays (Persea spp.) were collected twice in the wetland landcover type each day. Detached, dead leaves from gallberry (Ilex spp.), sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum), and/or wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) were collected three times each day in the flatwoods landcover type. In the wetland landcover type, detached, dead Lyonia (Lyonia spp.) and bays (Persea spp.) leaves were collected three times each day. Wiregrass (Aristida stricta) or bluestem (Schizachyrium/Andropogon spp.) was collected three times each day.
