ABoVE: Distribution Maps of Wildland Fire Fuel Components across Alaskan Tundra, 2015 : Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE)
This dataset provides maps of the distribution of three major wildland fire fuel types at 30 m spatial resolution covering the Alaskan arctic tundra, circa 2015. The three fuel components include woody (evergreen and deciduous shrubs), herbaceous (sedges and grasses), and nonvascular species (mosses...
