Field Survey Results of Damage and Ground Shaking Intensity in Humboldt, Trinity, and Mendocino Counties Following the 2022 Mw 6.4 Ferndale Earthquake

This data release provides supplementary information supporting our study on seismic intensities, ground motions, and basin amplification during the Mw 6.4 Ferndale, California earthquake of December 20th, 2022. A field survey was conducted between January 9-12 and March 6-9 in 2023 to assess the damage and shaking intensity experienced across the affected areas. During this survey, 17 sites in Northern California were visited. The sites include cities, towns, unincorporated communities, and census-designated places that fall within 150km of the earthquake epicenter. The data collected at each site includes qualitative observations of structural damage to homes and urban infrastructure, descriptions of damage to interior spaces and publicly accessible facilities, as well as reports of earthquake shaking intensity. Observations were made at multiple sub-localities within a designated site and were later summarized in order to assign a Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Index to each site. The journal article accompanying this data release integrates the calculated MMI values with seismic waveform data from seismometers to characterize strong ground motion regionally and to better constrain the hazards associated with subduction zone earthquakes in Northern California.

LANDFIRE 2023 Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) CONUS

LANDFIRE’s 2023 Update (LF 2023) Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) product represents the LF Existing Vegetation Type Ecological Systems (EVT) product modified to represent pre-disturbance EVT in areas where disturbances have occurred over the past 10 years. In LF 2023, vegetation products are created through an image-based process (within the Conterminous United States (CONUS)) that assesses canopy structure (Forest Canopy Height (CH) and Cover (CC)). Due to shifting EVT codes and labels throughout the years, the FVT codes are based on an early version of EVT codes translated from the current version. FVT is an input for fuel transitions related to disturbance and fuel products in LF 2023 were created with LF 2016 Remap vegetation in non-disturbed areas. 
To designate disturbed areas where FVT is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2014 to 2023 in the LF Fuel Disturbance (FDist) product are used. All existing disturbances between 2014-2023 are represented in LF 2023, and the products are intended to be used in 2024 (the year of release).  
When using any product from the LF 2023 fuel product suite, users should consider adjusting fuel layers for disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2023 fiscal year (after October 1st, 2023). Disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2023 fiscal year are not accounted for within LF 2023 fuel products. Learn more about LF 2023 at https://www.landfire.gov/data/lf2023.

Micro-Raman spectroscopy parameters investigating biochar's carbon stability and structural development in comparison to fusinite and semifusinite

Semifusinite and fusinite macerals are formed through carbonization of plant material in naturally occurring wildfires. Both macerals, belonging to the inertinite maceral group, are carbon-rich and oxygen-poor, and are typical constituents of charcoal. The charring of plant material into charcoal serves as nature’s method for storing carbon over geological timescales. The permanence and stability of carbon in biochar formed by pyrolysis of biomass are determined by its degree of carbonization, and long-term storage in soil assumes that the biomass has been completely transformed into inertinite biochar. Inertinite biochar is thought to have a structural composition comparable to natural fusinite, whereas less carbonized and less stable biochar is similar to semifusinite. In this study, micro-Raman spectroscopy was employed to examine the structural composition of 16 biochar samples produced at different temperatures from various lignocellulosic feedstocks, as well as one natural semifusinite isolated from a coal deposit. The estimated carbonization temperatures, representing the actual internal heating temperatures experienced by the biomass, ranged from 326–825 °C. The micro-Raman results of the biochar samples included in this data release were compared with previously published micro-Raman data on semifusinite and fusinite.

LANDFIRE 2023 Vegetation Departure (VDep) HI

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2023 Vegetation Departure (VDep) product categorizes departure between current vegetation condition and reference vegetation condition, according to the methods outlined in the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook [FRCC Guidebook (Hann et al 2010)]. VDep differs from the FRCC Guidebook, however, because it is based on the departure of current vegetation condition only, whereas the FRCC Guidebook approach includes departure of current fire regimes for the reference period. For VDep, summary units are defined as a BioPhysical Setting (BpS) with identical reference condition values regardless of map zone. For example, when a BpS is present in map zone 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8, the reference conditions for this BpS are identical in map zones 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8, those map zones become a summary unit for VDep computation. Since reference conditions are unique for this BpS in map zone 6, it is a separate summary unit for calculating VDep. Within each BpS summary unit, we compare the reference percentage of each Succession Class (SClass) to the current percentage, then the smaller of the two is summed to determine the similarity index for the BpS. This value is then subtracted from 100 to determine the departure value, VDep value is always between 0 and 100, with 100 representing maximum departure.  
Reference conditions are derived from quantitative vegetation dynamics models that mimic native, pre-European colonization disturbance regimes. The current conditions are derived from the corresponding LF 2023 SClass data for each BpS. The proportion of the landscape occupied by each SClass, in each BpS unit, within each summary unit represents current condition of that SClass in VDep calculation. VDep is based entirely on the remaining area of each BpS unit that is occupied by valid SClasses. Each pixel in a BpS within a summary unit has the same VDep value.

LANDFIRE 2023 Forest Canopy Base Height (CBH) Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands

LANDFIRE's 2023 Update (LF 2023) Forest Canopy Base Height (CBH) supplies information used in fire behavior models to determine the critical point at which a surface fire will transition to a crown fire in conjunction with other environmental factors (such as wind speed and moisture content). CBH data is continuous from 0 to 9.9 meters (to the nearest 0.1m) and describe the lowest point in a stand where there is enough available fuel (0.25in diameter) to propagate fire vertically through the canopy. Critical CBH is defined as the lowest point at which the Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) is .012kg m-3. Under different scenarios of disturbance and based on previous research incorporating plot-level CBH calculations, CBH for disturbed areas is determined via a set of linear equations relating Forest Canopy Height (CH) and Cover (CC) to CBH. Linear equations for these calculations are derived from Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) scenario outputs.  
To designate disturbed areas where CBH is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2014 to 2023 in the LF Fuel Disturbance (FDist) product are used. All existing disturbances between 2014-2023 are represented in LF 2023, and the products are intended to be used in 2024 (the year of release).  
When using any product from the LF 2023 fuel product suite, users should consider adjusting fuel layers for disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2023 fiscal year (after October 1st, 2023). Disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2023 fiscal year are not accounted for within LF 2023 fuel products. Learn more about LF 2023 at https://landfire.gov/data/lf2023.
