Template:FEIS/doc

Usage

This template creates a reference to a species or genus profile in the Fire Effects Information System (FEIS) of the United States Forest Service (USFS). It automatically creates a link using the type of life form, genus name, species name (if needed), and subspecies or variety name (if needed): |type=, |genus=, |species=, |subspecies=, |variety=. To comply with the citation instructions given on the FEIS, please provide the date and author name.

The full list of values for |type=: amphibian, arthropod, bird, bryophyte, fern, forb, graminoid, lichens, mammal, reptile, shrub, tree, and vine. Note that lichens has to be plural; lichen generates an error.

Usually the code used to generate the URL is the first two or three letters of the genus, species, and variety or subspecies name, and in that case the template automatically generates it. But sometimes the code is unpredictable (for instance, carpes is the code for Carex pensylvanica, not carpen), and then you must add the code using the |code= parameter.

By default, Citation Style 1 is used. Switch to Citation Style 2 using |mode=cs2.

All parameters of {{citation}} that are not supplied by this template are available.
