Plant association abundances and resistance and resilience covariates from six Great Basin fires

Metadata Updated: November 12, 2025

This dataset provides the plot-level data of the relative cover of ten different plant associations derived from a structural topic model and resistance and resilience metrics for predicting their abundances. Data comes from four different fires across the Great Basin: the 2007 Murphy Fire, 2012 Rush Fire, 2012 Holloway Fire, and the 2015 Soda Fire. Additional data utilized in the cross referenced paper from the Orchard Combat Training Center was redacted due to military rules but can be requested through the Idaho National Guard Environmental Management Office. Bureau of Land Management data (Murphy, Holloway, and Rush) species cover data was collected using line-point intercept methods on plots with between one and three transects of 25m or 50m in length. An additional small set of data (<1%) was collected by the Idaho Fish and Game using Daubenmire cover grids. Soda fire species cover data was collected with overhead photos and a grid-point intercept technique using Samplepoint software (Booth et al. 2006). Structural topic modelling was run to get the relative cover of ten different plant associations at each plot (Applestein et al. 2024).
