Description
This study sought to estimate the loss of above-ground carbon (AGC) and conversion of live carbon to dead carbon following understorey and canopy fire. Observations of tree-level canopy response to fire, and plot-level above-ground biomass.
Location: South-eastern Australia.
Time period: 2019–2020.
Major taxa studied: Four widespread resprouting eucalypt forests.
Methods: Above-ground carbon was measured in 15 plots in each of four forest types one-year post-fire. We also assessed topkill, that is, trees subject to canopy loss that failed to resprout epicormically.
A description of the data can be found in the associate manuscript "The carbon cost of the 2019-20 Australian fires varies with fire severity and forest type" in Global Ecology and Biogeography.
