ABoVE: Characterization of Burned and Unburned Spruce Forest Sites, Tanana, AK, 2017

This dataset provides the results of field observations of soil characteristics and depth to permafrost, survey results for Composite Burn Index (CBI) determination, and Landsat-derived estimates of Relative Difference Normalized Burn Ratio (RdNBR) for 38 burned and unburned forest sites near Tanana, Alaska, in 2017. Forests in the study area, at the confluence of the Yukon and Tanana Rivers about 200 km west of Fairbanks, are predominately black spruce on wetter soils and white spruce on drier soils. The burned areas were from wildfires that occurred in the summer of 2015.

本数据集收录了2017年于阿拉斯加坦纳纳河附近的塔纳纳地区38个森林地点的土壤特征及冻土层深度实地观测结果，复合燃烧指数（CBI）的调研数据，以及Landsat卫星数据反演的相对差异归一化燃烧比（RdNBR）估计值。研究区域位于育空河与坦纳纳河交汇处，位于费尔班克斯市以西约200公里，该区域森林植被主要为湿地土壤上的黑云杉和干燥土壤上的白云杉。火灾受损区域系2015年夏季发生的野火所致。
