Abstract:

This data publication contains pre- and post-treatment fuel loading data for 22 prescribed burns (RxBs) and 4 wildfires from 2012-2015 in the New Jersey Pinelands, specifically in Ocean and Burlington Counties. The data include: forest floor loading, shrub loading, forest census data, and canopy fuels via a profiling light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system for both before and after fuel reduction treatments. These data were collected as part of a Joint Fire Science Program project designed to collect landscape-scale fuels data before and after prescribed fires to quantify consumption, collect data for the parameterization and evaluation of computational flow-dynamics models for simulating fire behavior, and synthesize data for the evaluation of fuels treatment effectiveness. Data are available as either a Microsoft Access database file or as individual comma-delimited ASCII text files.
