Excerpt from Surface Fuel Loadings and Predicted Fire Behavior for Vegetation Types in the Northern Rocky Mountains Many stands, identified by overstory cover type, were selected from large areas for fuel sampling. Selected stands were identified on aerial photographs and then located in the field. Stands were also selected while hiking on and off trails. Stand selection was not entirely random; however, effort was made to systematically and objectively distribute stands throughout entire drainages.
