Abstract:
This data publication contains a vector shapefile representing the 2012-2015 burn units in New Jersey Pinelands, specifically in Ocean and Burlington Counties. These burn units were studied as part of a Joint Fire Science Program project designed to collect landscape-scale fuels data before and after prescribed fires, collect data for the parameterization and evaluation of computational flow-dynamics models, and synthesize data for the evaluation of fuels treatment effectiveness.
