Multi-scale analysis of cyclone–fire interactions within the montane pine forests of the Dominican Republic

We examined cyclone–fire interactions in a monodominant tropical montane pine forest in the Cordillera Central of the Dominican Republic using remotely-sensed imagery to quantify damage from fires between 1986–2004, a category 1 cyclone in 1998, and an extensive wildfire in 2005. We also measured forest structure and composition 14.7 years after the 2005 fire across a gradient of cyclone-fire disturbance interaction combinations. The datasets provided contain the severity and occurrence of cyclone and fire disturbance within our study site based on the remote-sensed imagery from LANDSAT (i.e. RegionalData_compacted.csv and LandscapeData_compacted.csv) as well as the field data collected from vegetation plots across the study site 14.7 years after the 2005 fire (i.e. csv files for Overstory, Saplings, Seedlings, Quadrats, and Quadrats_Diversity).
