Environmental and stand data for sites located in the 2004 burns off the Steese, Taylor, and Dalton Highways, collected in 2005-2007

This dataset contains site-level descriptions of environmental data (latitude, slope, aspect, moisture, soil pH and texture), pre-fire stand characteristics (tree density and basal area by species), and fire conditions from the 2004 fires (estimates of canopy and surface fire severity, including CBI, plus estimated stand age, date of burning, and distances to live seed sources). Each sample unit represents a site, and values often are site-level means of sub-samples. These data provide an initial baseline of environmental and fire conditions that can be used in interpreting long-term patterns of vegetation responses at the sites.

本数据集包含样地水平的环境数据描述，具体涵盖纬度、坡度、坡向、土壤湿度、土壤pH值与土壤质地；火前林分特征（按树种分类的树木密度与断面积）；以及2004年火烧事件的火烧状况数据，包括冠层与地表火烧烈度估算值（含CBI），同时包含估算的林分年龄、火烧日期以及活种子源距离。每个样本单元对应一个样地，其数值通常为子样本的样地水平平均值。本数据集提供了环境与火烧状况的初始基准，可用于解析各研究样地内植被响应的长期动态模式。
