Proportional Basal Area Mortality Following Four Large Wildfires in California, USA
March 6, 2025
This dataset provides estimates of the proportion of basal area that survived along with burn severity indices for 585 plots following four large fires in California, including the Carr (2018), Dixie (2021), Caldor (2021), and KNP (2021) fires.

Estimating basal area change by tree size with Sentinel-2 imagery following four fires in California, USA Estimating basal area change by tree size with Sentinel-2 imagery following four fires in California, USA
Background Failure to account for tree size when estimating burn severity may not accurately capture post-fire tree mortality and post-fire forest structure. Aims We explored whether basal area mortality by tree size class could be determined from remotely-sensed burn severity indices based solely on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Methods We used data collected in four large California...
