FIA cluster subplot design with three 24-ft. transects (slope corrected, horizontal distance) established at each subplot location. All subplot clusters are laid out in a fixed pattern regardless of different condition classes and only the transect segments that fall in the forest condition are sampled. The 6.8-ft radius micro plot is used to estimate the percent cover and height of live and dead shrubs, live and dead herbs (includes grasses) and litter. Fuel loading is estimated in accessible forestland conditions on the micro plot.
