Table 4 Frequency of fuel typing mismatches (number of plots, % of plots) overall and by FBP System fuel type for provincial field observed disagreement (provincial-field assigned), national field observation disagreement (national-field assigned), field decision tree disagreement (field decision tree-field assigned), forest inventory disagreement (provincial-field decision tree), and scaling disagreement (national-provincial). Fuel types are presented in terms of the predicted fuel type (e.g., provincial) as compared to the reference (e.g., field assigned). Frequent mismatches are shown in Fig. 4
