Abstract:
Temperature sensitive devices were placed in particular microsites throughout plots located in the Shoshone Mountain Range of central Nevada on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nye and Lander Counties. The area was then burned and the devices were collected and transcribed into a dataset that also contains depth of needle mat and tree/shrub measurements.
