The dataset, presented as an SPSS data file, includes three components. All were calculated for the civil parishes comprised in the NUTS2 Centro territorial unit in Central Portugal, identified by name in the column Parish_name. These components are: 1) three fire regime descriptors (expressed in original units and as z-scores) 2) twelve potential biophysical fire regime drivers (expressed in original units and as z-scores). 3) the cluster associated to each parish in both 3-cluster and 4-cluster solutions, obtained by running cluster analyses using the three fire regime descriptors as input variables. All fire regime descriptors and potential fire regime drivers are described in: Bergonse, R., Oliveira, S., Zêzere, J. L., Moreira, F., Ribeiro, P. F., Leal, M., & Lima e Santos, J. M. (2022). Biophysical controls over fire regime properties in Central Portugal. Science of The Total Environment, 810, 152314. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.152314. They are also identified in the ReadMe file included in the Dataset.
