[Vegetation Treatment] Low-severity fire [Description] 
This condition describes areas that have either had a low-severity fire, or a successful prescribed fire. Vegetation is assumed to reach an maximum height of 0.2 m and at a spacing of 0.2 m. This is probably the most appropriate treatment to describe a sparsely vegetated, newly exposed surface following excavation where material has not been highly compacted, such as a road cut. The user enters an estimate of the vegetated cover, which may be zero. This treatment may best describe forest conditions the year of a prescribed fire, or conditions 1 year after a wild fire. If there has been a high severity fire, and the soils are NOT hydrophobic, this is probably the best selection, but with a cover reduced to 15 percent, or that observed on the site.
