Modeling Relationships among 217 Fires Using Remote Sensing of Burn Severity in Southern Pine Forests

Pine flatwoods forests in the southeastern US have experienced severe wildfires over the past few decades, often attributed to fuel load build-up. These forest communities are fire dependent and require regular burning for ecosystem maintenance and health. Although prescribed fire has been used to r...
