Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data, NPS (2025)
Fire effects monitoring data collected at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area in Tennessee and Kentucky. The data were collected during spring/summer/fall/winter field seasons by the fire effects monitoring crew out of Great Smoky Mountains National Park from 2005 - 2025. Data collected from 50 x 20 m forest plots include post burn char height and scorch measurements for overstory trees and severity ratings for substrate and vegetation, tree inventory to obtain density and basal area, fuel load using Brown's method for inventorying surface fuels and biomass, seedling density, as well as cover point method along 50 m transects for estimating shrub, tree seedling, and herbaceous plant cover. Data collected from grass transects are 30 meter point intercept data to obtain relative and percent cover. Data collected from fuels transects are 50 ft Brown's transects for inventorying surface fuels and biomass. Photo points are associated with all plot and transect data, contact Fire Ecologist for more information.
