First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. This dataset is comprised of two different zip files. Zip File 1: The data within this zip file are composed of two wildland fire datasets. (1) A merged dataset consisting of 40 different wildfire and prescribed fire layers. The original 40 layers were all freely obtained from the internet or provided to the authors free of charge with permission to use them. The merged layers were altered to contain a consistent set of attributes including names, IDs, and dates. This raw merged dataset contains all original polygons many of which are duplicates of the same fire. This dataset...

CED (Conservation Efforts Database) Hosted Feature Service

This CED spatial web service (ESRI ArcGIS Online Hosted Feature Layer) provides spatial representations and attribute information of conservation efforts entered into the Conservation Efforts Database (https://conservationefforts.org) by various data providers. This spatial web service is made of point, line, and polygon layers and non-spatial tables. Feature records are group with their respective spatial feature type layers (point, line, polygon). The three spatial layers have identical attribute fields. Read only access to this data is ONLY available via an interactive web map on the Conservation Efforts Database website or authorized websites. Users who are interested in more access can directly contact the...

Combined wildland fire datasets for the United States and certain territories, 1800s-Present (summary rasters)

First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. Currently, there are multiple, freely available wildland fire datasets that identify wildfire and prescribed fire areas across the United States. However, these datasets are all limited in some way. Time periods, spatial extents, attributes, and maintenance for these datasets are highly variable, and none of the existing datasets provide a comprehensive picture of wildfires that have burned since the 1800s. Utilizing a series of both manual processes and ArcGIS Python (arcpy) scripts, we merged 40 of these disparate datasets into a single dataset that encompasses the known...

Post-wildfire sagebrush seedling establishment dataset

This dataset contains observations used to better understand the initial establishment of sagebrush (Artemisia sp.), in the first 1-2 years post-wildfire. Field data come from 460 sagebrush populations sampled across the Great Basin and many GIS-derived co-variates are included as well.
