Orwig DA and Abrams MD. 1995. Woody vegetation and fuel survey for evaluating wildfire hazard in three Fredericksburg battlefields. Technical report NPS/MARFRSP/NRTR - 95/066. National Park Service, Mid-Atlantic Region. Philadelphia
Woody vegetation in the Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Wilderness Battlefields was studied during the summers of 1991-1994 to determine the "forest composition and structure in relation to stand age and edaphic features" to aid in the prediction of potential fire intensity and severity. Information provided for each battlefield includes an overview of the topography and vegetation, stand descriptions, vegetation cover maps, tables of vegetative composition, and fuel loads. Also contains a woody species list for the area.
