Files
- namerica_ecoregion_ba_climate_counterfactual_20022023.csv Contains annual forested, non-forested burned area (km2), maximum 90-day mean fwi, and Jan-Sep precipitation from the prior year for each ecoregion. Additionally, counterfactual fwi, precipitation that remove the 20-model mean changes in climate variables are provided, along with counterfactual forest and non-forest burned area.
- ecoregion_modeling_counterfactual.m MATLAB script for the linear modeling of burned area and application to counterfactual climates.
