California (USA) Wildfire Damage to Soil

Jul 7, 2010
Description:
This dataset depicts high, moderate, and low zones representing the severity of damage to the soil caused by a wildfire. Dates of fires mapped for severity in this layer range from 1999 to 2006. Burn severity zones define areas where significant increases in erosion and sedimentation are likely and could result in destructive flooding or loss of soil productivity. They also propose treatments, which are designed to mitigate soil movement, calculate the cost of those treatments, and request the approval of those expenditures.
