Matchett, J.R. and Brooks, M.L., 2015, Fire frequencies from 1984 to 2013 among sagebrush types and soil regimes within greater sage-grouse population areas: U.S. Geological Survey Data Release, http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F76971N5.
Summary
This table summarizes land area occuring within unique combinations of sage-grouse management zones, sagebrush community types, soil temperature/moisture regimes, and times burned from 1984 to 2013. Methods used to derive these data are detailed in the report [Brooks, M.L., Matchett, J.R., Shinneman, D.J., and Coates, P.S., 2015, Fire patterns in the range of greater sage-grouse, 1984-2013; Implications for conservation and management: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1167, 66 p., http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151167]

Purpose
These data were developed to assess recent patterns of large wildfires within areas critical to the conservation and management of greater sage-grouse.
