Methods handbook for characterizing fire use, assessing fire effects, and monitoring soil and vegetation responses at stand level
The webpage compiles methods, aiming to describe and estimate the ecosystem characteristics that determine fire behavior, intensity, severity, and the effects on soil and vegetation ecosystem components. This compilation is a deliverable of the FIRE-ADAPT project.
The methods have been selected based on practical experience and their suitability for the intended application. Whenever possible, soft methods have been selected, readily applicable by non-specialist technical staff. Most of the indicators can be also monitored using hard methods, addressed to specialist staff. The methods target one or more indicators, which have been operationally grouped into five categories:
