Post-fire field observations across the 2007 Egley Fire in central Oregon: 1st edition

This data publication contains field observations taken in 2008 at 350 plots within the extent of the 2007 Egley Fire in central Oregon. Plots were located as paired sites in areas that had been treated and untreated prior to the 2007 Egley Fire. Field observations include a suite of vegetation, soil, fuel, and surface cover characteristics. Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) measurements, an indicator of burn severity, from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) program, are also included. Similar or identical field measurements were gathered at these same locations in 2016 as part of a larger project, and can be found in Bright et al. 2019 (https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2019-0005).
The objective was to assess the effect of fuel treatments on subsequent wildfire activity.
A second edition of these data is now available, which also includes the addition of tree-level data, and we recommend use of that version (Bright et al. 2019: https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2019-0015-2). This first edition was originally published on 05/14/2019. On 11/04/2019 the data were updated to modify some incorrectly calculated fuel measurements for: ‘FUEL_1HR’, ‘FUEL_10HR’, ‘FUEL_100HR’, and ‘FUEL_1000HR’. Additional metadata updates were made on 12/09/2019 that included references to newly available journal articles that use these data and links to the newer edition of these data.
