Fire History - Area Burned - Annual
2015-02-15
1.0.0
These annual fire history grids (0=no fire, 1=fire) were produced directly from the BLM Alaska Fire Service database and the Canadian National Fire Database. They are simply a 1x1km raster representation of their fire history polygon database that can be obtained from:
http://fire.ak.blm.gov/predsvcs/maps.php
http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/datamart
Note, fire history data is very unreliable before ~1950 in Alaska. Fires may have been recorded in a given year, but that does not mean all fires that occurred were successfully recorded. This data was assembled from every recorded fire that has been entered into Alaska and Canadian databases. This results in several years containing no fires at all.
This data has been created for the sole purpose of required model input in the Integrated Ecosystem Model (IEM). It is not recommended to use this data as a precise representation of phenomena on the landscape.
