“…we related FBFM assignments from 3700 recently burned and unburned plots to plant cover estimated using either line-point intercept (LPI, 25–50-m field transects), or grid-point intercept from aerial photos (GPI, digital, high-resolution, 6 m2 areas), or coarsely over 13-m radius area in the field without guides (so-called ocular estimation), throughout the Great Basin.”
