Landscape fire is a widespread, somewhat unpredictable phenomena that plays an
important part in Earth's biogeochemical cycling. In many biomes worldwide fire also …

Wildfires are part of the natural cycle of life in vegetated regions. The apparent increase in
size and frequency of recent years reflects land management legacy, expansion of human …

Each year wildland fires kill and injure trees on millions of forested hectares globally,
affecting plant and animal biodiversity, carbon storage, hydrologic processes, and …

Fire is an integral component of ecosystems globally and a tool that humans have
harnessed for millennia. Altered fire regimes are a fundamental cause and consequence of …

Reliable fire severity map** is a vital resource for fire scientists and land management
agencies globally. Satellite derived pre-and post-fire differenced severity indices (∆ FSI) …

Background The structure and function of fire-prone ecosystems are influenced by many
interacting processes that develop over varying time scales. Fire creates both instantaneous …

The dead foliage of scorched crowns is one of the most conspicuous signatures of wildland
fires. Globally, crown scorch from fires in savannas, woodlands and forests causes tree …

Understanding post-fire forest recovery is pivotal to the study of forest dynamics and global
carbon cycle. Field-based studies indicated a convex response of forest recovery rate to …

As a primary disturbance agent, fire significantly influences local processes and services of
forest ecosystems. Although a variety of remote sensing based approaches have been …

Measuring post-fire effects at landscape scales is critical to an ecological understanding of
wildfire effects. Predominantly this is accomplished with either multi-spectral remote sensing …
