In this project Lisa and Dawson will analyze existing laser scans of California bay laurel trees with basal resprouts across two study sites in Northern California to examine their size post-fire and the relationship of size to fire severity. These results will be crucial to help predict the effects of future wildfire on the surface and ladder fuel loads of areas with California bay laurel trees.
