Alberta Wildland Fuel Inventory Program: structure, composition and fuel loads for 476 sampling events (2009-2019)

We present a quality-checked and curated dataset obtained from a field sampling program conducted in the province of Alberta, Canada. Field data were used to describe the structure and composition of forest stands documented in 476 sampling events. Each sampling event record consists of 42 different variables, including several fuel loads (e.g., surface, understory, canopy fuels).
