Vegetation cover and standard fire behavior fuel model information collected for two national parks in southern Idaho during the summer of 2023

Data includes field observed cover of several vegetation functional groups, e.g. annual herbaceous, perennial herbaceous, exotic annual grasses, perennial bunch grasses, shrubs, sagebrush shrubs, non-sagebrush shrubs, bare mineral soil, rocks, and litter. Additionally, if tree canopy was present within field plots, tree canopy cover was estimated, forest type recorded, and the number of individual trees rooted within the plot counted. Standard fire behavior fuel models were classified for each plot. Available data from remotely sensed models estimating soil properties, topographic features, solar radiation indices, and vegetation cover by functional group are also included.
