Climate teleconnections modulate global burned area [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Climate teleconnections (CT) remotely influence weather conditions in many regions on Earth, entailing changes in primary drivers of fire activity such as vegetation biomass accumulation and moisture.

Is proportion burned severely related to daily area burned? [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 The ecological effects of forest fires burning with high severity are long-lived and have the greatest impact on vegetation successional trajectories, as compared to low-to-moderate severity fires.

Global Patterns and Dynamics of Burned Area and Burn Severity
Remote Sensing, 2023 It is a widespread assumption that burned area and severity are increasing worldwide due to climate change. This issue has motivated former analysis based on satellite imagery, revealing a decreasing trend in global burned areas.

Validation of MCD64A1 and FireCCI51 cropland burned area mapping in Ukraine
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Small fires represent an important under-represented fire type within active fire and burned area datasets in addition to fire emission inventories, especially in regions with substantial agricultural areas. In order to improve regional and global burned

Developing a Random Forest Algorithm for MODIS Global Burned Area Classification
Remote Sensing, 2017 This paper aims to develop a global burned area (BA) algorithm for MODIS BRDF-corrected images based on the Random Forest (RF) classifier. Two RF models were generated, including: (1) all MODIS reflective bands; and (2) only the red (R) and near infrared

Occurrence and recurrence of forest fires in Itatiaia National Park between 2008 and 2016
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2020 Some ecosystems are adapted to fire disturbances, but as fires become recurrent in the same area, fire can cause drastic landscape changes resulting in loss of biodiversity.
