This report contains the results of the assessment of fire behavior in relation to fuels, weather, topography, and fire effects to resources in relation to fire behavior for the Clover Wildland Fire Use Fire on the Sequoia National Forest on the Kern Plateau in the South Sierra Wilderness. Fire behavior, pre- and post-vegetation and fuel conditions were measured at 6 sites above Beck Meadow from June 18th to the June 21st 2008. Twenty rapid burn severity plots were completed to better understand the effectiveness of past fire events to alter fire severity on June 21st and June 22nd. Past fires visited which burned again by the Clover 2008 fire included the 1980 Clover Fire, the 2004 Crag Fire and the 2006 Broder/Beck Fire. A few high intensity gaps were measured and mapped to aid in understanding the potential impacts on fisher habitat.
