account for the wide diversity of fuel particles comprising the fuelbed (Chap. 8).
And last, the development of new comprehensive fuel classifications will need high
quality data across large geographical areas, diverse ecosystems, and complex fuel-
beds to ensure effective and robust applications (Conard et al. 2001 ).
