Summary
Data includes head smut infection level (caused by the fungal pathogen, Ustilago bullata) on cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and cheatgrass cover for plots measured annually during the first four years after the 2015 Soda wildfire. Additional landscape and weather covariates that are hypothesized to influence infection and host density are included.

Applestein, C., Simler‐Williamson, A.B., and Germino, M.J., 2021, Weather and distance to fire refugia limit landscape‐level occurrence of fungal disease in an exotic annual grass (P. Thrall, Ed.): Journal of Ecology, v. 109, no. 5, p. 2247–2260, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13638.
The data were collected as part of the monitoring program designed for assessing vegetative recovery in the first five years after fire in order to make management decisions on treatment (and retreatment) and grazing. Data should be treated as an intensive case study.
