Data from: Remote sensing in rangeland fire ecology: Comparing imagery to measured fire behavior, and burn severity across prescribed burns and wildfires

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:52 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 15, 2026
These data and script support an analysis of remotely-sensed burn severity in rangeland fire ecology. Two comparisons are made:Burn severity from space-based data (Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio) is compared against field-based fire behavior measurements (rate of spread, flame temperature, and soil surface temperature) collected from experimental prescribed burns in North Dakota.Burn severity from wildfires in biophysically-similar rangeland as the experimental prescribed burns is compared against burn severity of those prescribed burns.File descriptions:SeverityComparisonData.xlsx: Numerical data used in statistical analysesSpatialData.gpkg: Study region and edited wildfire perimetersAllScriptTogether.pdf: R and Copernicus browser script for data wrangling and analysis
