The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Wildfire Burn Percent 1984-2018 (MTBS)

Description

This dataset represents mean percent are burned from wildfires within individual local and accumulated upstream catchments for NHDPlusV2 Waterbodies for each year for 1984-2018. The Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity MTBS project assesses the frequency, extent, and magnitude (size and severity) of all large wildland fires (includes wildfire, wildland fire use, and prescribed fire) in the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico from the beginning of the Landsat Thematic Mapper archive to the present.

2 StreamCat currently contains over 600 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. The special metrics were derived through modeling or by combining other StreamCat metrics. These variables include predicted water temperature, predicted biological condition, and the indexes of catchment and watershed integrity. See Geospatial Framework and Terms below for definitions of catchment and watershed as used with the StreamCat Dataset. These metrics are available for ~2.65 million stream segments and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. StreamCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information. https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/streamcat-dataset
