Abstract:

This data publication represents source data and R scripts for a manuscript entitled "Fuel treatment effectiveness in the context of landform, vegetation and large, wind-driven wildfires" (Prichard et al. 2020). This study was conducted on the 2014 Carlton Complex study area in north-central Washington State. The R scripts include code needed to run the random forest analysis (RF), simultaneous autoregression (SAR) and final plots for the publication. The source data tables include 30-meter (m) resolution point datasets with location x and y representing UTM northing and easting locations, respectively, of every 30 m pixel within the Carlton Complex study areas (A = South, B = North), fire severity indices (dNBR, RBR, RdNBR) as response variables, and predictor variables including past fuel treatments, vegetation type, landform, and weather. Source predictor variables were taken from datasets that preceded the 2014 wildfires.
