Description

This data set provides a fire progression map for year 2015 and measures of burn severity and vegetation community biophysical data collected from areas that were burned by wildfires in 2014 and 2015 in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Field data collected in 2016 include an estimate of burn severity, woody seedling/sprouting data, soil moisture, peat depth, thaw depth, and vegetation cover for selected sites.
