ABoVE: Post-Fire and Unburned Vegetation Community and Field Data, NWT, Canada, 2018

This dataset provides vegetation community characteristics and biophysical data collected in 2018 from areas that were burned by wildfire in 2014 and 2015, and from nine unburned validation sites in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The data include vegetation inventories, ground cover, regrowth, tree diameter and height, and woody seedling/sprouting data at burned sites, and similar vegetation community characterization at unburned validation sites. Additional measurements included soil moisture, collected for validation of the UAVSAR airborne collection, and depth to frozen ground at the nine unburned sites. This 2018 fieldwork completes four years of field sampling at the wildfire areas.

本数据集提供2018年采集的植被群落特征与生物物理数据，采集区域涵盖2014年、2015年受野火焚烧的区域，以及加拿大西北地区的9个未焚烧验证样地。数据包含焚烧样地的植被清查、地表覆盖状况、植被恢复情况、树木直径与树高，以及木本幼苗/萌条相关数据；未焚烧验证样地则开展了同类植被群落特征表征工作。额外采集的测量数据包括用于验证机载UAVSAR采集结果的土壤湿度，以及9个未焚烧样地的冻土深度。此项2018年野外作业完成了野火区域连续四年的野外采样工作。
