George Washington Carver National Memorial FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data

Leis S and Ladner J. 2026. George Washington Carver National Memorial FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data. National Park Service

Fire effects monitoring data collected at George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, MO. The data were collected during spring, summer, and fall field seasons by the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network 2010- 2025. The GWCA FFI database primarily contains fuels monitoring and fire severity data, but also includes disturbance history data. Data refer exclusively to grassland monitoring plots. Data were collected from seven 50 x 20 m macroplots. Grassland protocols focus on the two 50 m transects per macroplot. The published protocols for fire ecology and plant community monitoring can be found on the HTLN website or IRMA datastore (Leis et al. 2011, Leis et. al. 2022) http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/units/htln/library/Vegetation/PlantComm/PlantCom_2009_p.pdf.
