Layer: Dead Carbon (ID: 113)

Parent Layer: Stability

Name: Dead Carbon

Display Field:

Type: Raster Layer

Geometry Type: null

Description: Dead carbon includes dead and down (litter, duff, fine, coarse, and heavy fuels, including 1000+ hour logs) which are inherently unstable due to prevailing fire and decay processes, and a destabilizing factor in the fire-adapted forests of the Sierra to the extent that they contribute to uncharacteristic fire behavior. Also added to that dead carbon, the carbon from the canopies of small trees, which is readily released during fire (specifically, trees less than 10 inches in diameter). Standing dead C is also included, representing the slower leak from the landscape carbon stock. This is a proxy for unstable carbon; fire liable carbon on the landscape which is more vulnerable to combustion.--------A recent paper (Bernal et al., 2022), suggests that due to drought/temps expected beyond 2040, the Sierra Nevada may not be able to support carbon loads of aboveground live trees over 20 Mg C/ha (note that they report biomass values, not carbon values). Carbon values are generally assumed to be half of biomass (See CAL FIRE’s “AB 1504” methodology, Christensen et al., 2019). Conversion from short tons per acre (the default F3 output units) to Mg/ha requires multiplication by 2.2417023114334.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values----------------- Unit Of Measure: Mg C/ha
