Left: map showing the three blocks, each comprised of the three treatment units (with the additional stand-alone dormant burn) with “AP” referring to the Andrew Pickens Ranger District and “CR” referring to the Chattooga River Ranger District. Right: map of AP2 control, growing, and dormant treatment units generated via NAIP Imagery and analyzed on ArcGIS Pro. Blue areas represent open canopy, or mid-successional open habitat (30–60% canopy cover), and yellow areas represent early canopy, or early successional habitat (< 30% canopy cover). Areas not indicated by yellow or blue polygons represent closed canopy (> 60% canopy cover), with the exception of areas that contained open or early canopy prior to burning (green polygon in the dormant season unit)
