Abstract:

This publication contains a comma-separated values (CSV) file containing tree attribute and stem geolocation data collected in April 2017 in the L2F forested management unit at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida. The L2F unit was the last unit, and the only forested unit, burned as part of the 2012 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE) funded by the Joint Fire Science Program. The RxCADRE prescribed burn was on 11 November 2012, after 2.5 years (3 growing seasons) since the previous prescribed burn on 3 April 2010. This data file contains field-measured attributes of the trees found within 3 large circular plots of 25-meter radius that correspond to the 3 Highly Instrumented Plots (HIPS) placed in the L2F unit for the 2012 RxCADRE burn. There were 353 trees measured 1-3 April 2017, distributed between the 3 HIPS. Before the 2017 tree data collection but after the 2012 RxCADRE burn, a wildfire occurred on 8 April 2016 that was contained on 9 April 2016.
