dcterms:description "These datasets contain sampled fuel moisture content data for vegetation, organic soil and leaf litter as part of the UK Fire Danger Rating System project funded by NERC (NE/T003553/1). The sampled vegetation comprises both live and dead heather, gorse, bracken, moor grass and moss. Where relevant, the canopy/leaves and stem were sampled separately. The datasets also contain associated information about the sample site characteristics (land cover class, elevation, slope and aspect) and meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity and wind speed at the time of sampling). There are three datasets included which represent three separate studies: (i) UK-wide dataset which contains samples from sites across the UK from 2021-2023; (ii) North Yorkshire Moors dataset which contains samples from the North Yorkshire Moors, where sites were chosen to represent a combination of landscape characteristics, from five days in 2021; (iii) West Midlands dataset which contains samples from multiple volunteers on one day only across two sites." ;

rdfs:label "Data were collected by sampling vegetation. The sampler established 20 m transects at sample sites and collected samples between 11:00 and 17:00 local time. For heather, gorse and bracken, stems and either canopy (heather, gorse) or leaves (bracken) were sampled separately, and for all vegetation both live and dead samples were taken. Live moss samples were collected by pinching the top two cm of moss from the soil surface, and litter samples were collected by pinching the top two cm of dead leaf litter from soil surface, at ca. 10 points along the transect. These two fuel types were sampled separately, and if both occurred together the constituents were separated. For the organic layer, defined as the organic material beneath the surface litter and above the mineral soil, the top 5 cm of soil was sampled at four points along the transect. In forested sites, twigs (<5 mm diameter) were collected from fallen branches at ca. 10 points along the transect. Only those which were not in contact with the floor were collected. The same fuel constituents sampled along the transects were combined within aluminium screw-fit tins that were sealed with masking tape. Gravimetric fuel moisture content (FMC) was calculated by weighing the collected samples, drying them for 48 h at 80 °C and then reweighing the dried samples. The FMC is calculated as: (W - D)/(D - T) * 100 where W = wet weight (g), D = dry weight (g) and T = the weight of the sample tin (g)."
