ABoVE: Post-Fire and Unburned Vegetation Community and Field Data, NWT, Canada, 2017

This dataset provides vegetation community characteristics, soil moisture, and biophysical data collected in 2017 from 11 study sites in the ABoVE Study area. The 11 study areas contained 28 sites that were burned by wildfires in 2014 and 2015, and 10 unburned sites in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada. Burned sites included peatland and upland. These field data include assessment of burn severity, vegetation inventories, ground cover, diameter and height for trees and shrubs, seedling and sprouting cover, soil moisture, and depth of unfrozen soil. Plot sizes were 10 m x 10 m with smaller subplots for selected measurements. Similar data were collected for these sites in the years 2015-2019 and are available in related separate datasets. Field data are provided in CSV format. The dataset includes digital photographs (in JPEG format) of vegetation conditions at sampling sites.

本数据集收录了2017年在ABoVE研究区域11个研究地点采集的植被群落特征、土壤湿度以及生物物理数据。这11个研究区域包含28个地点，其中在2014年和2015年遭受过野火焚毁，另有10个未遭受焚毁的地点位于加拿大西北地区（NWT）。遭受焚毁的地点包括泥炭地和高地。实地数据包括焚毁程度评估、植被清单、地表覆盖、树木和灌木的直径与高度、幼苗和萌芽覆盖度、土壤湿度和未冻结土壤深度等。样地面积为10米×10米，部分测量则采用更小的子样地。自2015年至2019年，对上述地点进行了类似数据采集，相关独立数据集已提供。实地数据以CSV格式提供。数据集还包括植被采样地点的数字照片（JPEG格式）。
