This table contains geographic information defining watersheds that were burned in large wildfires (greater than 100 square kilometers) that occurred in California or California-draining regions (i.e., upper Klamath watershed) between the years 1984 and 2021. Each wildfire was broken into tens to thousands of small watersheds, and each row of this table contains geographic information defining a single watershed.

This is a shapefile containing polygons of watersheds that were burned in wildfires that occurred in California between 1984 and 2021. The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model for postfire erosion was run on all watersheds for the first year following wildfire and the results of this modeling effort are included as attributes of each watershed polygon.

These data show all the postfire erosion results affiliated with this data release summed by wildfire and attached to a polygon of each fire perimeter, as defined by Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS). The results are shown as attributes for each polygon of wildfire perimeter. Some of the original MTBS data (name, ignition date, and ID) were preserved to allow for joining to other MTBS data. Results include WEPP modeling results of hillslope and channel erosion, a sum of postfire debris flow modeling ...
