Applying Remote Sensing to Assess Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery: A Case Study of Serra do Açor (Portugal) by Noah Wassner, Albano Figueiredo, Adélia N. Nunes

“…The primary goal was to assess whether fire severity, measured via the dNBR index from Sentinel-2 imagery, impacts vegetation recovery or if site-specific factors and pre-fire floristic composition are more influential. Randomly assigned plots based on previous land use and fire severity were analyzed for floristic attributes. …”
