Eglin Air Force Base (EAFB) is a 464,000-acre United States Air Force (USAF) base in the western Florida Panhandle, located in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties. In 2023, G-20 (382 ha/946 ac), G-25 (548 ha/1354 ac), and L-25 (117 ha/290 ac) were available for prescribed burning. G-20 and G-25 are located on the western side of EAFB. G-20 is between Range Road 213 and B-70, and G-25 is south of B-70 and split by Live Oak Creek. These units were burned three years ago (2020). L-25 is located on the eastern side of EAFB, south of Range Road 213, across from the C80C Test site. It was last burned 4 years ago (2019). G-20 and G-25 were broken into smaller, more manageable sampling blocks. Using a remnant, undesignated EAFB road, G-20 was split into G-20W (184 ha/455 ac) and G-20E (193 ha/476 ac). Live Oak Creek was used to split G-25 into G-25W (235 ha/581 ac) and G-25E (311 ha/770 ac). In December 2022, 150 sandhills, 30 planted pine, 6 oak hammock, and 23 hardwood hammock/transition zone macroplots were established. These were distributed across the sampling blocks as follows: G-20W: 30 sandhills, 10 planted pine, 0 oak hammock, 0 hardwood hammock, 0 transition zone G-20E: 30 sandhills, 0 planted pine, 0 oak hammock, 5 hardwood hammock, 0 transition zone G-25W: 30 sandhills, 10 planted pine, 0 oak hammock, 0 hardwood hammock, 5 transition zone G-25E: 30 sandhills, 10 planted pine, 0 oak hammock, 4 hardwood hammock, 4 transition zone L-25: 30 sandhills, 0 planted pine, 6 oak hammock, 5 hardwood hammock, 0 transition zone The pre-burn clip plot was located at the macroplot center. A post-burn clip plot was established approximately two to three meters from the macroplot center. The post-burn clip plot was visually identified as having a fuel composition and structure similar to the pre-burn clip plot. From the macroplot center, the distance and azimuth to the northwest corner of the post-burn clip plot were measured. The compass declination was set to zero (magnetic north). The sampling area was 0.5 m in width by 0.5 m in length by 1 m in height. The frame was subdivided into two vertical sampling layers or strata: ground to 30 cm and 30 to 100 cm. Vegetation and fuel categories were recorded in both the pre-and post-burn clip plots. Vegetation, fuel category, and biomass data were collected using a simplified approach from Hawley et al. 2018. The vegetation and fuel categories for this site were defined as woody live vegetation, now dead woody vegetation, woody litter, woody dead and downed 1-hour fuels, 10-hour fuels, 100-hour fuels, 1000-hour fuels, pinecones, conifer litter, conifer needles, and herbaceous vegetation, which includes graminoids, forbs, and vines. The ‘now dead woody vegetation’ category was used only in post-burn sampling to classify pre-burn woody live stems partially consumed by the prescribed fire and when the aboveground plant was dead or top-killed. Before the prescribed burn, within both the pre- and post-burn clip plots, the presence and absence of each vegetation and fuel category were recorded within each stratum. At the pre-burn plot, biomass was destructively harvested from each stratum. After the prescribed burn, within each post-burn clip plot, the presence and absence of each vegetation and the fuel category were recorded again, and the biomass was destructively harvested within each stratum. In the Athens Prescribed Fire Science Laboratory, Athens, GA, USA, the clip plot biomass was sorted, dried, and weighed to determine each vegetation and fuel category's dry weight (grams). The sorted biomass was dried at 60 ◦C until the sample's weight no longer changed, typically within 48–72 hours. NOTE: A prescribed burn was not conducted at L-25 during this campaign; therefore, this unit does not have post-burn data. Hawley, C.M.; Loudermlk, E.L.; Rowell, E.M.; Pokswinski, S.
