FuelMap2014.gdb \Data Esri geodatabase built in ArcPro 2.9 representing model output generated by random forests imputation of forest inventory plot data measured by Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) to unsampled (and sampled) spatial locations on the landscape for circa 2014 conditions. From the imputed plot data, information was drawn from the FIA database to map loading of carbon in litter, duff, fine woody debris, and coarse woody debris at 30x30 m spatial resolution. Raster data includes: 1) FuelMapCN = unique identifier for an FIA visit to a forest plot, 2) CWD_CARBON = loading of coarse woody debris in the 1000-hour size class in pounds per acre, 3) DUFF_CARBON = average duff loading in pounds per acre, 4) FWD_LG_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in the 100-hour size class in pounds per acre, 5) FWD_MD_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in the 10-hour size class in pounds per acre, 6) FWD_SM_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in the 1-hour size class in pounds per acre, 7) LITTER_CARBON = average litter loading in pounds per acre, and 8) TOTAL_C = total carbon in the forest floor in pounds per acre (produced by adding all prior six strata together). Data are also provided as a GeoTIFF.
FuelMap2014.tif \Data Raster dataset (GeoTIFF file) representing model output generated by random forests imputation of forest inventory plot data measured by Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) to unsampled (and sampled) spatial locations on the landscape for circa 2014 conditions. From the imputed plot data, information was drawn from the FIA database to map loading of carbon in litter, duff, fine woody debris, and coarse woody debris at 30x30 m spatial resolution. The values in each band of the raster include: 1) FuelMapCN = unique identifier for an FIA visit to a forest plot, 2) CWD_CARBON = loading of coarse woody debris in the 1000-hour size class in pounds per acre, 3) DUFF_CARBON = average duff loading in pounds per acre, 4) FWD_LG_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in the 100-hour size class in pounds per acre, 5) FWD_MD_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in the 10-hour size class in pounds per acre, 6) FWD_SM_CARBON = loading of fine woody debris in 1-hour size class in pounds per acre, 7) LITTER_CARBON = average litter loading in pounds per acre, and 8) TOTAL_C = total carbon in the forest floor in pounds per acre (produced by adding all prior six strata together). Data are also provided as an Esri geodatabase.
CN_lookup.csv \Data Comma-separated values file containing the predicted FIA plot CN for each pixel in the “FuelMapCN_tif” raster in the geodatabase or the “FuelMapCN.tif” in the multi-band tiff.
