Hanser, S.T. Knick 2008. The human footprint in the west: a large-scale analysis of anthropogenic impacts. Ecological Applications 18(5): 1119-1139 Online_Linkage: http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov/ Description: Abstract: This data was produced to examine the extent and location of human induced fires throughout the western United States. The National Fire Occurrence Database (1986-1996) and additional government agency fire occurrence databases were queried for human induced fires between 1986 and 2001. Purpose: Provide locations of human induced fires from 1986 to 2001 in the western United States.
