Clip Plot and Macroplot Photographs Collected at the 2023 Department of Defense Wildland Fire Science Initiative Eglin Air Force Base Campaign

To characterize fine-scale variations in vegetation structure, quantify heterogeneity, and capture fuel estimation and consumption, photographs of the clip plots and macroplots were taken in the G20, G25, and L25 Units. This dataset provides the photographs collected before (December 2022) and after (March 2023) the prescribed burns.

method 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 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 Before and after the prescribed burns, photos were taken from the macroplot center in each cardinal direction at approximately 1.37 meters above the ground. Before the prescribed burn, nadir and oblique photos were taken at the pre- and post-burn clip plots. After the prescribed burn, a nadir and oblique photo was taken at each post-burn clip plot. A Trimble TDC600 was used to take photos. NOTE: A prescribed burn was not conducted at L-25 during this campaign; therefore, this unit does not have post-burn data.
