Fire Self-Limitation (FiSL) Experiment: Quantifying Wildfire Carbon Combustion Losses in boreal Deciduous and Mixed Forests in Interior Alaska and the Boreal Cordillera IX: metrics derived from All Raw Data Collected Plus Data from Previous Studies on the 2004 Alaska Wildfires Included in Analysis 2022

This data set includes metrics derived from field and lab data collected for deciduous and mixed deciduous-confier plots collected in the summer of 2022 (Shovel Creek (2019), Aggie Creek (2015), Hess Creek (2019), Baker (2015), Munson Creek (2021), Isom Creek (2020), 2019MA014 (2019), and 2019BC005 (2019)), as well as additional data for conifer plots from previous studies of the Taylor Highway Complex (2004), Dall Creek/Yukon Crossing (2004), and Boundary (2004) fires. Those additional data were acquired from: https://www.lter.uaf.edu/d1/d1-detail/id/773 and https://daac.ornl.gov/ABOVE/guides/ABoVE_Plot_Data_Burned_Sites.html. From this complete data set of 333 plots, 311 plots were used in analyses in Black at al. (NCC) paper: "Increased deciduous tree dominance reduces wildfire carbon losses in boreal forests". Plots excluded (from 2022 FiSL data) were poplar-dominated, mixed poplar/conifer dominated, missing soil C data, or conifer-dominated (adventituous root heights were not recorded consistently at sites in 2022 making it impossible to estimate pre-fire conifer stand organic soil C pools for 2022-collected conifer plots). Only 2005-collected conifer plots were used in NCC paper analyses. For all plots, in addition to field/lab derived site characteristics and combustion metrics, post hoc remotely sensed metrics were derived: pre-fire NDVI/EVI-2 trends, 1980-2010 climate normals, and DOB weather metrics.
