    • Tree Mortality from Fires and Bark Beetles at 1-km Resolution, Western USA, 2003-2012

    Metadata Updated: December 6, 2023

    This dataset provides annual estimates of tree mortality due to fires and bark beetles from 2003 to 2012 on forestland in the continental western United States. Tree mortality was estimated at 1-km spatial resolution by combining tree aboveground carbon (AGC) and disturbance datasets derived largely from remote sensing. Tree mortality is expressed as the amount of AGC stored in trees killed by disturbance (Mg carbon per km2). The dataset also includes annual uncertainty maps that were generated using a Monte Carlo approach in which tree biomass, biomass carbon content, and disturbance severity were iteratively varied by their uncertainty.

    Cumulative tree mortality due to (a) fires and (b) bark beetles from 2003-2012 on forestland in the western United States. Tree mortality was quantified as the amount of aboveground carbon (AGC) stored in tree biomass killed by disturbance (e.g., Mg AGC ha-1) (Berner et al., 2017).
