Alberta Wildland Fuel Inventory Program: structure, composition and fuel loads for 476 sampling events (2009-2019)

We present a quality-checked and curated dataset obtained from a field sampling program conducted in the province of Alberta, Canada. Field data were used to describe the structure and composition of forest stands documented in 476 sampling events. Each sampling event record consists of 42 different variables, including several fuel loads (e.g., surface, understory, canopy fuels).

Date (Creation): 2021-08-17

Presentation form: numeric table

Purpose: The dataset has been created for operational and research applications including but not limited to fuel classification; estimation of fuel attributes from remote sensing technologies; fuel treatment planning; fire behaviour prediction; and use in high resolution fire growth models.
