Together with the development of the first ever compendium of silviculture treatments for use in large-scale modeling, we conducted an analysis of the costs for treating hazardous fuels associated with these treatments.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how costs of implementing hazardous fuels treatments are estimated from the USFS FACTS database, and the limitations associated with the database.
Understand FACTS cost applications, consistency, and challenges in the context of common fuel treatment and restoration activities on National Forest lands.
Conduct similar analyses at various scales, regions, and vegetation cover types using costing data
