FirEUrisk_canopy_fuel_parameters: canopy fuel load, canopy bulk density

Pixel-level uncertainty for the spatial extrapolation was also estimated. This dataset of these European canopy fuel parameters, at 1 km spatial resolution, encompasses a total of 4 maps including: forest canopy fuel load and canopy bulk density, along with their associated uncertainties. Further details about the generation of these maps can be read in: Aragoneses, E., García, M., Tang, H., and Chuvieco, E.: A multi-sensor approach allows confident mapping of forest canopy fuel load and canopy bulk density to assess wildfire risk at the European scale, Remote Sensing of Environment, doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2024.114578, 2025.

These maps complement the categorical information of the FirEUrisk European fuel type map for the forest fuel types in Aragoneses, E., García, M., Salis, M., Ribeiro, L.
