Burn severity (2002) and field data (2012) from Tolhuaca National Park (Chile)

This data was used in the analysis for the article "Burn Severity Controls on Post-fire Araucaria-Nothofagus Regeneration in the Andean Cordillera" by T. Assal, M. Gonzalez and J. Sibold. The aim of the study was to investigate post-fire regeneration patterns of forests on the west slope of the Andes; to evaluate the relationship between remotely sensed burn severity and forest mortality; and to assess controls of burn severity on forest response at local spatio-temporal scales. This dataset reflects the burn severity calculated from Landsat data as part of the analysis.
