Abstract:

This data publication contains field and satellite observations at 1567 plots across wildfire extents that burned between the years 2000-2007, collected for Joint Fire Science Project ID: 14-1-02-27. Field attributes were measured between the years 2013-2016 and include a suite of vegetation, soil, and surface cover characteristics. Satellite observations include differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) measurements from Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), as well as annual (1984-2016) satellite observations of the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) derived from the Landsat-based detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery (LandTrendr) algorithm. Previously burned areas included the extents of the 2000 Jasper wildfire in western South Dakota; 2002 Hayman wildfire in central Colorado; 2003 Black Mountain, Cooney Ridge, Robert, and Wedge Canyon wildfires in western Montana; 2003 Old and Simi wildfires in southern California; 2003 Myrtle Creek wildfire in northern Idaho; 2004 Porcupine, Chicken, and Wall Street wildfires in interior Alaska; 2005 School wildfire in eastern Washington; 2005 Ricco wildfire in South Dakota; 2006 Shake Table or Thorn Creek wildfire in central Oregon; 2006 Tripod wildfire complex in north-central Washington; 2007 Egley wildfire in central Oregon; and the 2007 East Zone/Cascade wildfire complex in central Idaho. Field attributes had been measured previously at many of these locations; Hudak (2010) contains previous field attribute data for some of the Montana, California, and Alaska plots; and Hudak (2013) contains previous field attribute data for some of the Idaho plots. Bright et al. (2019: https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2019-0015-2) contains previous field attribute data for most of the Oregon plots. Also included is R code that can merge these data with Hudak (2010, 2013) and Bright et al. (2019: https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2019-0015-2).
