Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data
Weyenberg S. 2011. Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data
Fire effects monitoring data collected at Indiana Dune National Lakeshore (INDU) in Porter, IN. The data were collected during summer field seasons by the fire effects monitoring crew out of VOYA from 1996 - Present. Photographs are taken from each end of the transect or plot center to document change. Data are collected using two different protocols and numerous adjusments to the protocols have taken place over the years. Collected data include: tree inventory to obtain density and basal area (50x20m & variable radius plot), fuel loading using Brown's protocols, seedling & woody stem densities (fixed area plots), and understory plant percent cover and frequency using 30m & 50m point intercept transects and 1m frequency squares.
