Geospatial data from: Identifying opportunity hot spots for reducing the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in western US conifer forests

The geospatial dataset includes raster and vector data for visualizing the spatial distribution of risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in Peeler et al. 2023. Raster data evaluate carbon exposure, sensitivity, and vulnerability at the pixel-level across western US carbon forests. Vector data aggregate pixel-level findings into project area and fireshed spatial units to identify target geographies (or "opportunity hot spots") where proactive forest management could reduce the greatest risk from wildfire to carbon. Vector data also identifies firesheds in which proactive forest management could simultaneously reduce the risk from wildfire to carbon and human communities.
