This dataset contains site-level descriptions of environmental data (latitude, slope, aspect, moisture, soil pH and texture), pre-fire stand characteristics (tree density and basal area by species), and fire conditions from the 2004 fires (estimates of canopy and surface fire severity, including CBI, plus estimated stand age, date of burning, and distances to live seed sources). Each sample unit represents a site, and values often are site-level means of sub-samples. These data provide an initial baseline of environmental and fire conditions that can be used in interpreting long-term patterns of vegetation responses at the sites.
