This report summarizes methods used to collect vegetation and fuels data as a part of the vegetation mapping inventory project conducted at Lassen Volcanic National Park in 2006. Field sampling was performed using a point-transect method to develop descriptions of the different layers of the land-cover types being sampled. Transect data were recorded and included data pertaining to landscape features (average slope, aspect, elevation, hydrologic regime, soil type, parent material, and any other modifiers used to describe the site); species and feature designations present at the different points established along the transect; the “layer” of all point features; and the genus and species of vegetation, along with size characteristics for trees and shrubs. Non-tree features were also recorded, as well as significant indicator species, features, and ground surface conditions.
