Abstract:

This data publication contains tree, fuels, and vegetation, and ground cover measurements from a permanent grid of common stand exam plots established following four fires that occurred between 2000 and 2010 on the Plumas and Lassen National Forests in northern California. Data were collected between 2009 and 2012. Portions of these four fires were reburned by the 30,000 hectare Chips Fire in 2012, which burned 118 of the previously established field plots. Data describing plot locations, fire history, and year of data collection is included. Fire weather data collected during the 2012 Chips Fire by three portable Remote Automated Weather Stations are also provided.
