Maximum temperatures, needle mat, and vegetation measurements in pinyon-juniper microsites following prescribed burn in the Shoshone mountains of Nevada

Temperature sensitive devices were placed in particular microsites throughout plots located in the Shoshone Mountain Range of central Nevada on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nye and Lander Counties. The area was then burned and the devices were collected and transcribed into a dataset that also contains depth of needle mat and tree/shrub measurements. To observe maximum temperatures in a variety of pinyon-juniper microsites during a fire. Original data publication was compiled on 8/25/2010. On 10/14/2010 minor edits were made to the metadata such as the addition of two data sets to the Cross-References section. The variable elevation was added to all data sets and the metadata adjusted accordingly. On 11/08/2011 metadata modified to adjust citation to include the addition of a DOI (digital object identifier). Minor metadata updates on 02/20/2013. Minor metadata updates on 12/19/2016.
