Fire Caused Tree Mortality in Western US National Parks (2018)(ver. 2.0, February 2020)
May 19, 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:

Pre‐fire drought and competition mediate post‐fire conifer mortality in western U.S. National Parks
Tree mortality is an important outcome of many forest fires. Extensive tree injuries from fire may lead directly to mortality, but environmental and biological stressors may also contribute to tree death. However, there is little evidence showing how the combined effects of two common stressors, drought and competition, influence post‐fire mortality. Geographically broad observations of three comm
