Fuel treatment and fire history within the Rim Fire in California

This data publication contains a geospatial file in raster format of wildfires and fuels treatments that occurred between 1995 and 2013 on Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park in California within the area burned by the 2013 Rim Fire, excluding the outer 500 meters of the fire perimeter. Tabular data are provided for three sets of circular sample windows of size 500 acres (ac), 2500 ac and 5000 ac within the same geospatial extent. Variables included for the sample windows are proportion burned at high severity in the Rim Fire; proportion treated/burned prior to the Rim Fire; mean values for actual evapotranspiration, water deficit, energy release component, and burning index; and proportion in shrubland, riparian, hardwood, conifer, and grassland LandFire vegetation classes. Tabular data are also provided for a set of transects within the same geographic extent that are placed along radial lines centered on the Rim Fire's origin point.
