Vegetation Biomass, Voxel, and Macroplot Geographical Location Data collected at the Winter Burn Plots located at Osceola National Forest in December 2021 and February 2022

Destructive clip plots were sampled in nine burn units to characterize fine-scale variations in vegetation structure, quantify heterogeneity, and capture fuel estimation and consumption. This data set provides the macroplot geographical location, vegetation biomass by fuel type, and occupied voxel data collected before (December 2021) and after (February 2022) the prescribed burns.

method Study site Osceola National Forest is a 200,000-acre National Forest between Lake City, FL, and Jacksonville, FL, bisected by Interstate 10. The long-term winter burn plots were installed in the early 1960s for research and education. The winter burn plots are east of Ocean Pond off Forest Service Road 266. They are burned on 1-, 2-, and 4-year rotations. There are also unburned plots (check plots). In 2022, eighteen burn units (six 1-year, six 2-year, six 4-year) were available for prescribed burning. In 2021 and 2022, sampling occurred in nine randomly selected burn units—three 1-year, three 2-year, and three 4-year units.
