Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global
processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial …

There has been considerable interest in the recent literature regarding the assessment of
post-fire effects on forested areas within the North American boreal forest. Assessing the …

Satellite-inferred burn severity data have become increasingly popular over the last decade
for management and research purposes. These data typically quantify spectral change …

Background Few studies have examined post-fire vegetation recovery in temperate forest
ecosystems with Landsat time series analysis. We analyzed time series of Normalized Burn …

The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between three field-based fire
severity indices (Composite Burn Index-CBI, Geometrically structure CBI, weighted CBI) and …

Fire is a keystone process in many ecosystems of western North America. Severe fires kill
and consume large amounts of above‐and belowground biomass and affect soils, resulting …

Comprehensive assessment of ecological change after fires have burned forests and
rangelands is important if we are to understand, predict and measure fire effects. We …

National parks in western Canada experience wildland fire events at differing frequencies,
intensities, and burn severities. These episodic disturbances have varying implications for …

The Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity project is a comprehensive fire atlas for the United
States that includes perimeters and severity data for all fires greater than a particular size …

Wildfire activity is projected to increase in boreal forests as a result of climate warming. The
consequences of increased wildfire activity for soil carbon (C) storage in boreal forests may …
