Evaluation of the Composite Burn Index for Assessing
Fire Severity in Alaskan Black Spruce Forests
An evaluation of the composite burn index in Alaskan black
spruce forests indicates it may be of limited potential for
quantifying fire severity in these ecosystems, in particular
organic layer consumption, which is an important factor to
understand how ecosystems will respond to changing climate
and fire regimes in northern regions. Roger Ottmar was one
of 6 authors of this article in the International Journal
of Wildland Fire.
