FFI Reports and Analysis • Standard Data Summary Reports • Parametric Statistics (by monitoring status) • Mean • Standard deviation • Confidence intervals • One-way ANOVA • Dunnett’s multiple comparison t-test • Nonparametric Statistics (by monitoring status) • Median • Confidence intervals • Friedman’s test • Multiple comparison test based on Friedman rank sums

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports • Summarize data by macroplot and monitoring status • Summarize data by strata and monitoring status • Print reports • Export as PDF or Excel spreadsheet • Import into other statistics software

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Surface Fuels • Fuel Loadings • 1 -hr, 100 -hr • 1000 -hr (sound, rotten) • 1 -1000 -hr • Duff / Litter • Depth • Duff • Litter • Total

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Surface Fuels - Vegetation • Fuel Loadings, Cover, and Height • Shrub • Herbaceous • Other

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Surface Fuels – Alaska Duff / Litter • Fuel Loadings and Depth • Litter • Live moss • Dead moss • Upper duff • Lower duff • Lichen • Total

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Fuel Load Calculations • Default / Custom fuel constants • Fine woody (QMD, NHC, SG) • Coarse woody (SG) • Duff / Litter (BD) • Vegetation (BD) • Alaska Duff / Litter (BD)

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Vegetation Sampling Methods • Cover - Species Composition • Cover, height by species • Cover - Line Intercept • Cover = species intercept / transect length • Average cover, height by species • Cover – Points / Points by Transect • Cover = item hits / total points per transect • Average cover, height by species

FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports Vegetation Sampling Methods • Cover / Frequency • Average cover, height by species • Frequency by subplot if used NRF • Pilot Sampling • Count by species for nested frames • Density • Average count by species • Average count per unit area by species • Biomass • Average biomass by species

FFI Reports and Analysis – Reports Post Burn Severity • Severity Ratings • Substrate • Vegetation • Percent Severity • Substrate (ratings 1 – 5) • Vegetation (ratings 1 – 5)

FFI Reports and Analysis – Reports Composite Burn Index • Strata Ratings • Substrate • Herbs / Low Shrubs • Tall Shrubs • Intermediate Trees • Big Trees • Summary Ratings • Understory CBI • Overstory CBI • Total Plot CBI

FFI Reports and Analysis – Statistical Analysis • Test for differences between monitoring statuses • Null hypothesis = no difference • Provide two options: • ANOVA – assumes normal distribution of data • Freidman’s test – distribution free • If reject null hypothesis and >3 monitoring statuses, multiple pairwise comparisons to first monitoring status • ANOVA – Dunnett’s multiple comparison procedure • Friedman’s – Multiple comparison test based on Friedman rank sums
