The manual for LISA Version 2.0 computer model was published as:

Hammond, Carol; Hall, David; Miller, Stanley; Swetik, Paul. 1992. Level I Stability Analysis (LISA) documentation for version 2.0. Gen. Tech. Rep. INT-285. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Research Station. 190 p.

Part I of this guide provides information on the science upon which the LISA and DLISA computer models are based, and guidelines and suggestions on how to develop good data for use in the models. Part II is a users guide for LISA and DLISA.
