The downloadable ZIP file contains an number of Esri shapefiles as described below.\\u00a0 This data set provides the spatial information used to complete a post fire inventory and assessment for the 2015 Slide Fire in Clearwater County, Idaho.\\u00a0 The fire burned 73 acres within Clearwater County, Idaho in August 2015.\\u00a0 Data was prepared by several agencies including US Forest Service, and the Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District.\\u00a0 Data was prepared for the North Central Idaho Wildfire Restoration Group as part of their efforts in preparing the North Central Idaho Wildfire Inventory and Assessment Report (2015).
Several data sets are available and are described as follows:
Fire Boundary: Data shows the 2015 fire boundary. Data generated by US Forest Service. File name: OldGreerFireBoundary
Land Cover: Land cover categories generated from National Land Cover Database (2011, USGS). Data processed by clipping NLCD by 2015 fire boundary. Fire boundary generated from InciWeb. Categories include; Developed, Open Space - Mix of constructed materials, but mostly lawn grasses. Impervious surfaces < 20% of total cover. Deciduous Forest - >20% deciduous trees. Evergreen Forest - >20% evergreen trees. Mixed Forest \\u2013 >20% trees with mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. Shrub/Scrub >20% shrub vegetation. Grassland/Herbaceous - >80% grass /other herbaceous vegetation. Pasture/Hay - Areas of grasses, legumes, or grass-legume mixtures planted for livestock grazing or the production of seed or hay crops, typically on a perennial cycle. Cultivated Crops Areas used for the production of annual crops and/or being annually tilled. Woody Wetlands \\u2013 Soils that are periodically saturated or covered with water and contain >20% forest or shrubland vegetation. Emergent Herbaceous Wetlands Soils that are periodically saturated or covered with water and vegetation is >80% herbaceous. Data generated by Nikki Lane, Nez Perce soil and Water Conservation District. Jan 2016. Files are named OldGreerLandCoverFINAL10_15_2015 or OldGreerLandCover.shp
Land Ownership: Ownership layer for 2015 fire boundary. Source data is BLM Federal Land Status layer clipped to 2015 fire boundary obtained from InciWeb. Bureau of Land Management (BLM); Surface Management Agency (Federal Land Status) layer. 2011. (http://insideidaho.org). Data generated by Cody Dawes, Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District. January 2016. Ownership categories: BLM \\u2013 Bureau of Land Management, Private \\u2013 private, USFS \\u2013 US Forest Service, IR \\u2013 Indian Reservation, State \\u2013 State of Idaho. Files are named OldGreerLandownershipFINAL1_6_16 or OldGreerLandStatus.shp.
Slope Class: Data generated from USGS Digital Elevation Model to identify slopes. Slopes were divided into 3 classes; 1-20, 21-40;>40. Data generated within 2015 fire boundary areas as identified by US Forest Service. Data generated by Nikki Lane, Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District. January 2016. Files are named oldgreerpoly or OldGreerSlope.
Streams: Data shows streams (perennial and intermittent) within the Wash Complex 2015 fire boundary. Streams layer obtained from USGS. U.S. Rivers and Streams represent detailed rivers and streams in the United States. Data clipped and processed by Cody Dawes, Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District in January 2016. Files named OldGreerStreams.
PrivateForestlandsBySlope: Data shows three slope classes (0-20, 20-40, >40) on private owned forestlands. Data generated from BLM ownership layer, USGS Digital Elevation Model, and the National Land Cover Database. Data generated by Cody Dawes, Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District. January 2016. File name OldGreerPrivateForestlandSlopeClassFINAL_1_7_16
Private land forested acres: Data shows privately owned forest acres burned during the 2015 event. Data generated by Cody Dawes, Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District. January 2016. File name OldGreerForestAcres.
