Spatial feature data is stored in the geodatabase in geographic coordinates (decimal degrees). LSRS data layers are overlaid in various combinations to generate data for the 28 LAR tables. Acreage values are projected and calculated from the geometries of the overlay features. Geographic coordinates are projected using the Alaska Albers Equal Area Conic projection for Region 10 (Alaska) and the North American Albers Equal Area Conic projection for the other 8 FS Regions. Spatial data in the LSRS is captured and processed using very small precision and tolerance parameters. However, LAR acres are reported as integer (whole) numbers. A comparison of summed acreages from different LAR tables may identify modest, and statistically insignificant differences. A small part of the difference can be attributed to spatial feature vertical alignment errors. However, the greater part of the difference is due to numeric rounding. Rounding error averages less than 0.000005% of the total acres. (± 10 in 192,000,000 acres). Which sum is right? Both are correct, though, in theory, the dataset with the fewest numbers subject to rounding is probably a more accurate accounting. Hence, Table 1 (National and Regional Areas Summary) is more accurate than the sum of the values from Table 6 (NFS Acreage by State, Congressional District and County). ii Land Areas Report – Glossary of Terms Total/Gross Acreage NFS Acreage Other Acreage Sum of NFS and non- Areas that fall within one Areas located within NFS NFS acreages. of the National Forest boundaries that are not System designations federally owned or described below. administered by the Forest Service.

    Forest Layers Diagram Forest Layers Wildland Fires Background Reading Wildland Fire Wildland fire is a general term describing any non-structure fire that occurs in vegetation and natural fuels. Wildland fire includes both planned and unplanned fires. A prescribed fire is a planned fire intentionally ignited by park managers to meet management objectives. A wildfire is an unplanned fire caused by lightning or other natural causes, by accidental (or arson-caused) human ignitions, or by an escaped prescribed fire. Fuel is one of the ingredients needed for a wildland fire. Fire managers define fuels as all living and dead plant material that can be ignited by a fire. Fuel characteristics strongly influence fire behavior and the resulting fire effects on ecosystems. Types of Fire Spread • Ground fires—which burn organic matter in the soil beneath surface litter and are sustained by glowing combustion. • Surface fires—which spread with a flaming front and burn leaf litter, fallen branches and other fuels located at ground level. • Crown fires—which burn through the top layer of foliage on a tree, known as the canopy or crown. Crown fires are the most intense type of fire and often the most difficult to contain. They may involve strong winds, steep slopes and a heavy fuel load to continue burning. Size and Intensity Even though fire is a fairly common occurrence, very few fires become extremely large. In the United States, 2 to 3 percent of all fires account for more than 95 percent of the total area burned annually. The blackened plots left behind by these types of large fires contribute to the image of fire as a destroyer of the natural environment.

On the side of the latrine is a bulletin board that the troop can use to post assignments, notices, and duty rosters. Camp Comer has two air-conditioned shower and restroom facilities for camp-wide use. Patrol sites are pre-established in each campsite. Most campsites have some Adarondaks that sleep four and tents on platforms that sleep two. Some sites may be occupied by more than one troop. Troops are encouraged to construct gateways to their campsites. The Hawk Campsite is a HANDICAPPED ONLY site, if you do not have a scout or leader that is handicapped that site will not be available. There are four troop / campsites; each campsite has a latrine, picnic table and fire ring. Water may be obtained at spigots near the pavilion. Garbage is disposed of at the Tannehill trash dumpster. Each unit is responsible for providing its trash bags and taking garbage to the trash dumpster. The campsites have a number and a name. Make reservations at a Greater Alabama Council Service Center; be sure to specify the campsite or sites desired.
