Fire Caused Tree Mortality in Western US National Parks (2018)(ver. 2.0, February 2020)

This data consists of observations of individual trees that were subjected to prescribed fire in western US national parks. Information on individual trees include measurements of tree size, competition, and fire-caused damage. The data also includes estimates of plot-level vapor pressure deficit anomaly before fire. These data support the following publication: Van Mantgem, P.J., Falk, D.A., Williams, E.C., Das, A.J. and Stephenson, N.L., 2020.
