 "description": "This LiDAR derivative provides information about the density of living and dead vegetation in the vertical strata between 1 and 4 meters above the ground.  Recent research has shown that LiDAR metrics that characterize this strata provide a useful proxy for ladder fuels (see references below).  Pixel values for this raw ladder fuel LiDAR derivative fall into a 0-1 range and represent the following:\n\n # returns between 1 and 4 meters / # returns below 4 meters\n\nFor a classified version of this data product classified into six classes and stratified by vegetation type, use this image service. \n\nThis layer is meant to be used as a tool to guide land managers as they identify and prioritize areas for forest and fuels treatments across the landscape.  The idea for the ladder fuel metrics came out of a series of papers by Kramer et al.  The citations for those papers are here:\n\nKramer, Heather, et al. \"Quantifying ladder fuels: a new approach using LiDAR.\" Forests 5.6 (2014): 1432-1453.\n\nKramer, Heather, et al. \"Estimating ladder fuels: a new approach combining field photography with LiDAR.\" Remote Sensing 8.9 (2016): 766.\n\nThis dataset was developed to support Ag + Open Space District analysis of 2017 burned areas under a NASA Rapid Response Grant, as well as to support countywide work on the Sonoma County Fuel Model, a Pepperwood Preserve Project funded by the Flora L. Thornton Foundation.  \n",
