Introduction:
My goal with this project was to place fires on
the Chequamegon National Forest, in the model
FARSITE, in different habitats and to vary
the weather in the simulations to see if landscape
structure and/or moisture would affect how far the
fires would spread in 15 days.

Northern Hardwoods Forest Type
Characterized by FARSITE as fuel with litter and under story.
Northern Hardwoods may include species like Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Red Oak, White Oak,Ironwood, Hazelnut and can, in this exercise, include softer Birches and Aspens.
Characterized by FARSITE as surfacefuel that is brushy, up to 2 feet high.
Jack Pine can grow on sand left behind by the glaciers. The sand barrens in Michigan have Jack Pines that are the only habitat of the Kirtland’s Warbler.
