Measured Plot Data of Forest Fuels and Terrestrial Laser Scanning Predictors in Southwest Virginia

September 25, 2026

This table contains field measured surface, ground, and woody material for 164 plots across four sites in southwestern Virginia. Also included are metrics derived from coincident terrestrial laser scanning use to predict fuel loading. In the course of model creation, outliers were removed and hierarchical clustering was used to improve model performance, these groups are also recorded in the table.
