Detecting tree mortality with Landsat-derived spectral indices: Improving ecological accuracy by examining uncertainty

Satellite-derived fire severity metrics are a foundational tool used to estimate fire effects at the landscape scale. Changes in surface characteristics permit reasonably accurate delineation between burned and unburned areas, but variability in severity within burned areas is much more challenging...
