Summary

This dataset contains inputs for wildfire simulations in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) in forest environments. It includes five segmented point clouds in LAS format, representing different fuel classes from a forest plot, each with an associated BDF (Bulk Density Files) file. The forest plot consists of a 40 x 40 m Pinus ponderosa plot scanned with a Riegl-VZ400i in Sycan Marsh, Oregon, USA, during the summer of 2019. The dataset also contains Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) input files detailing the configuration for three separate simulations. These resources support modelling and simulation efforts to better understand fire behaviour in forest ecosystems.
