Giving Ecological Meaning to Satellite-Derived Fire Severity Metrics across North American Forests

Giving Ecological Meaning to Satellite-Derived Fire Severity Metrics across North American Forests

Satellite-derived spectral indices such as the relativized burn ratio (RBR) allow fire severity maps to be produced in a relatively straightforward manner across multiple fires and broad spatial extents. These indices often have strong relationships with field-based measurements of fire severity, th...
