Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Fire Ecology & Recovery
Working definition
A field-based assessment of fire-caused changes to soil and ground-surface properties relevant to runoff, erosion and ecosystem response.
In plain language
A field-based assessment of fire-caused changes to soil and ground-surface properties relevant to runoff, erosion and ecosystem response.
Why it matters
Soil Burn Severity is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
