Wildfire Spreading Capacity map of vegetated surfaces in Albania

This is a vector GIS data shapefile that delivers the indexing of vegetated surfaces in Albania by their wildfire spreading capacity index (WSCI). WSCI relies on a multi-criteria approach in assessing wildfire risk, which considers the anthropogenic, climatic, geophysical, and fuel properties of the study area. The data is produced in QGIS software and is automated via processing modeler extension. The data consists of a points layer, where each point is representing the inventory and indexing values for a vegetated surface of 25ha. The data is useful as reference material to studies that focus on natural hazards scenarios in Albania and in the western Balkans.
