The following process can be used for drying duff, foliar, woody, and herbaceous fuel moisture samples along with entering data and calculating moisture content and the CFFDRS Indices.
This method has been modified from the Fuel Moisture Sampling in Boreal Forest Duff manual (by Brenda Wilmore) for field use. For more information on volumetric or TDR (time domain reflectometry) probe sampling procedures, please refer to the full sampling manual.
The methods below are generally based on R.A. Norum and M. Miller, 1984. Measuring Fuel Moisture Content in Alaska: Standard Methods and Procedures. USFS General Technical Report PNW-171.
