Abstract:

This data publication contains satellite image-derived burn severity indices as well as fire effects measured after eight large wildfire events in the Western United States (Hudak et al. 2007). Fire effects variables were measured or calculated at 418 plots, nested in 50 field sites, located across the full range of burn severities observed at the 2003 Black Mountain, Cooney Ridge, Robert, and Wedge Canyon wildfires in western Montana, the 2003 Old and Simi wildfires in southern California, and the 2004 Porcupine, Chicken, and Wall Street wildfires in interior Alaska. Field attributes include a suite of vegetation, soil, and surface cover characteristics. Satellite indices include the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR), Relative dNBR (RdNBR), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), differenced NDVI (dNDVI), as well as green, brown and black fractional cover estimates derived from image spectral mixture analysis.
