Terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point cloud data gathered in the Macon Study of Dormant Season Prescribed Fire burn units within Osceola National Forest in 2022

This data product contains point cloud data collected with a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) at the Macon Study of Dormant Season Prescribed Fire burn units within Osceola National Forest, Florida, USA in late January (pre-burn) and early February (post-burn) 2022. TLS scans were taken at the corners of burn units both before and after prescribed fire, for the purpose of characterizing fuels and fuel consumption. At the exterior burn unit corners around the perimeter of the study area, the TLS instrument was mounted atop a boom lift to scan at elevations of ~18m and -9m aboveground. At the interior burn unit corners (inaccessible with the boom lift) within the study area, the TLS instrument was mounted in the back of a pickup truck and scans were taken at elevations of ~3 m aboveground.
