Do you CBI what I see? The relationship between the Composite Burn Index and quantitative field measures of burn severity varies across gradients of forest structure
Burn severity in forests is commonly assessed in the field with visual ordinal estimates such
as the Composite Burn Index (CBI). However, how CBI (a composite of several individual …
