Table 1 Fuel load estimates used in experimental burns. All fuel amounts are given in grams, and were calculated for 1 m2 plots based on the 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90th percentiles of actual fuel load estimates (Mg· ha−1) from southeastern Ohio. Amount of distilled water (mL) added to each treatment to produce 4% and 15% fuel moistures is given in the last two columns.
