Description

This dataset contains direct measurements of biomass burning emission factors for CO2, CO, CH4 and N2O. It includes over 4500 EF bag measurements sampled using an unmanned aerial system (UAS), and measured fuel parameters and fire severity proxies during 129 individual fires. The measurements cover a variety of savanna ecosystems in Brazil, Australia, Botswana, Zambia, South-Africa and Mozambique under different seasonal conditions, sampled over the course of six fire seasons between 2017 and 2022. The table in the included word file explains the individual columns in the excell file.
