Metadata for dataset ‘In temperate Europe, fire is already here: The case of The Netherlands’ Stoof et al, 2024, AMBIO For each uploaded csv file (file names below), we list below the column names along with a description of the data in these columns ---------- Historic data ---------- File name: fires_1945-1993.csv year: year nr_totaal: total number of fires opp_totaal: total area burned in hectares File name: burned_area_distribution_historic.csv size_ha: lower value of size class in hectares nr: number of fires in each size class perc: percentage of fires in each size class class: size class range (in hectares) printed in full ---------- Recent data ---------- File name: All_fires.csv FIREID: unique identifier ADD_CITY: municipality DATE: date that fire started in M/DD/YYYY format TIME: time that fire was reported BAFOR: burned area of forest land following Camia et al 2014. As explained in the paper, the total area of forest land was calculated from the total of BAFOR and BAOW. BAOW: burned area of other wooded land following Camia et al 2014 BAONW: burned area of other non-wooded land following Camia et al 2014 BAAGR: burned area of agricultural land following Camia et al 2014 ADD_VEG: detailed information of vegetation type following country classification. A translation of these vegetation classes is given in the file ‘vegetation_translation.csv’.
