High-severity fire: evaluating its key drivers and mapping its probability across western US forests

High-severity fire: evaluating its key drivers and mapping its probability across western US forests

Wildland fire is a critical process in forests of the western United States (US). Variation in fire behavior, which is heavily influenced by fuel loading, terrain, weather, and vegetation type, leads to heterogeneity in fire severity across landscapes. The relative influence of these factors in driv...
