ABoVE: Boreal Forest Resilience Study 2020-2022, Fairbanks AK
This dataset includes five metrics of forest resilience (recruitment, invasives, permafrost change, tree damage, and radial growth) at five recently burned forest sites (2010-2019) near Fairbanks, Alaska. The sites were imaged by the Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-NG) in 2017 and 2022 during the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE). Field measurements were conducted in 2021. Random forest (RF) vegetation classification models constructed from key hyperspectral bands were validated with ground-truthing (GT) of 44 measured plots and 45 geotagged plots. GT included stem densities, understory cover, soil characteristics, radial growth of 51 spruce trees from cores, and visual damage assays of 668 conifers and deciduous trees. There are 10 data files in comma-separated values format (CSV) in this dataset.
