Abstract:

This data publication includes field observations of trees, shrubs, and surface/ground fuels measured in 194 plots within or adjacent to burn perimeters of seven fires targeted in the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE) in Oregon, California, Idaho, and Washington. Sampled fires include the 2021 Bootleg (OR), 2018 Carr (CA), 2018 Keithly (ID), 2018 Rattlesnake Creek (ID), 2018 Taylor Creek (OR), 2018 Tepee (OR), and 2019 Williams Flats (WA) fires. Plot measurements were made in the years 2018-2022. Trees and saplings were measured in fixed-radius plots; shrubs and fuels were characterized by transects; and detailed measurements of cover and fuel weight were made within 1 meter x 1 meter or 0.5 meter x 0.5 meter square clip plots.
