Abstract:
This comma-delimited ASCII file contains estimated ground cover fractions at the post-fire clip plot locations at the Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE) units burned in 2008, 2011, and 2012. These plots are located at the Eglin Air Force Base, northeast of Valparaiso, Florida in Okaloosa County and the Joseph Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway, near Camila, Georgia. Cover types estimated include percent surface cover of green vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV), the char fraction of the NPV, ash and exposed mineral soil cover components.
