dataset
posted on 2025-04-26, 01:57 authored by Melanie K. Taylor, Donald L. Hagan, T. Adam Coates, Julia A. DeFeo, Mac A. Callaham, Helen H. Mohr, Thomas A. Waldrop, Nina WurzburgerThese are data from the Green River Fire and Fire Surrogates Study which took place in the Green River Game Lands in western North Carolina, USA. In this study, three treatments - mechanical felling (Mech), repeated prescribed fires (Fire), or a combination (Mech + Fire)- were experimentally applied starting in 2003 and compared to untreated controls (Control). Species composition of overstory trees, total basal area, saplings, seedlings, and duff depth are included from 2001, and from the latest available inventory (2014 [duff], 2016 [seedlings/saplings], or 2018 [overstory]). Changes (delta) from pre- to post-treatment are included as well.
The purpose of the Fire and Fire Surrogates study was to identify the effects of forest management treatments over time.
