Title:First-order vertebrated mortality due the 2020 wildfires in the Pantanal wetland, Brazil
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

We conducted ground surveys along line transects to estimate the first-order impact of the 2020 wildfires on vertebrates in the Pantanal wetlands, Brazil. We adopted the distance sampling technique (Burnham et al 1980) to estimate the densities and the number of dead vertebrates in the 39,030 square kilometers affected by fire. We covered 123 transects scattered in the floodplain, up to 72 hours after the fires, mostly within 24 or 48 hours. We recorded the perpendicular distance between each carcass found in the field and the line transect. The carcasses were identified at least at Order level, down to species level when possible. The surveys were conducted from August to November 2020.

Data Table Name:
First-order vertebrated mortality due the 2020 wildfires in the Pantanal wetland, Brazil
Description:
The table includes the labels for the transect conducted in the field, as well as key information needed for the estimation of densities and total number of dead vertebrates, such as transect length, perpendicular distance from carcasses to the transect line, as well as the identification of the carcass. Additionally, the table contains the centroid of each transect line to help the examination of the distribution of the transects in the Pantanal floodplains.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

We conducted post fire line transects to count vertebrates, using the distance sampling technique (Burnham et al 1980) to estimate the number of deaths in the burned region of the Pantanal wetland during 2020 wildfires (39,030 square km). We measured the perpendicular distance between detected target objects (carcasses) and the transect line, as well as the transect length. All field biologists and technicians covering the burned region employed the same standardized sampling protocol. To avoid removal of carcasses by scavengers, samplings were conducted within 72 hours after burning, but mostly within a 24 - 48 hours period. All dead vertebrates detected along the transect line were identified at least to the Order level, and to lower taxonomic level whenever possible.
