The metric for time since disturbance ("tsd") was measured as time in years before 2021 since the most recent disturbance of at least 25% canopy cover loss per 30m pixel as...

The Terrestrial Connectivity dataset is one of the four key components of the California Department of Fish and Wildlifes (CDFW) Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) suite of...

Structure Exposure Score is an integrated rating of wildfire hazard that includes the likelihood of a wildfire reaching a given location along with the potential intensity and...

This is the material that may burn at the extreme end of the spectrum and contribute to mass fire behavior (Stephens et al., 2022), especially during crown spread type events....

Large trees are important to forest managers as they have a greater likelihood of survival from fire, provide sources of seed stock, wildlife habitat, and contribute to other...

The principle method for maintaining or restoring resilience to the southern California landscape involves vegetation treatments. There are many variations on treatments...

The ember transport model used in WildEST tracks the travel of embers from each source pixel to downwind receiving pixels. The relative number of embers landing on a given...

This metric expresses the amount of total existing, aboveground, live tree stem biomass measured in dry weight tons per acre for the Sierra Nevada region. This metric can be...

Large trees are important to forest managers for multiple reasons: they have a greater likelihood of survival from fire; they are an important source of seed stock; they provide...

This metric expresses the total amount of existing biomass volume (measured in dry weight tons per acre) from all live tree crowns (branchwood and foliage) and the tree stems...

Count of short return interval fires (within 15 years) across southern CA (1950-2019) that can be used to identify sites that have experienced frequent fire (e.g. more than one...

Identifying locations where shrubland vegetation will not recover naturally post-fire is a challenge given the vast areas that are regularly burned in southern California. When...

Total shrub cover as measured by the fractional non-overlapping absolute shrub cover, viewed vertically. Provides a first order measure of vegetation type when combined with...

The seral stages are categories that represent the developmental progression of forest ecosystems from initial establishment or following a stand replacing event (e.g., high...

Stand density index (SDI) helps vegetation managers to identify levels of site utilization and competition to determine management scenarios to meet objectives and is often used...
