Table 6 Within-season average fuel moistures calculated across percentile ERC bins for the 2006 Tripod study area. Seasons include Spring (March 31–May 31), Summer (June 1–September 15), and Autumn (September 16–November 1). ERC is the energy release component; 1, 10, and 100 h are dead fuel moistures for their respective time lag fuel classes; H herbaceous fuel moisture; W woody fuel moisture and BP is daily burn period in minutes
