Collection Overview: This lidar dataset was collected as part of an NCALM Seed grant for Kaili Brande at  University of California, Santa Barbara. This study used airborne lidar to evaluate 3D fuel structure and plant community composition in relation to prescribed fire at the University of California Sedgwick Reserve. The study area covers approximately 66 km2Publications associated with this dataset can be found at NCALM's Data Tracking Center
