Wildfires drive significant multi-year water quality degradation across the U.S. West

Information on the 245 burned basins, 293 unburned basins, and 356 associated fires from across the U.S. West which were used in statistical analyses of post-wildfire water quality response. Included are physiographic characteristics, as well as ESRI Shapefile polygons representing delineations for each basin and fire. Additionally, daily carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment, and turbidity data sampled from the basins' outlets are provided from 1974-2022. Water quality data used to create this dataset are from the Water Quality Portal.本数据集涵盖美国西部245个火烧流域、293个未火烧流域以及356场关联火灾的相关信息，用于野火后水质响应的统计分析。数据集包含流域与火灾的地貌特征信息，以及用于表征各流域和火灾边界的ESRI Shapefile格式多边形矢量数据。此外，还提供了1974年至2022年间从各流域出水口采集的每日碳、氮、磷、沉积物及浊度监测数据。 用于构建本数据集的水质数据来源于水质门户网站（Water Quality Portal）。
