20181108 11390600 1.0 TRUE This burn severity classification is based on the near infrared (NIR) and short wave infrared (SWIR) bands of pre- and post-fire Landsat 8 or Sentinel-2 imagery. This data was created using post-fire imagery from shortly after a fire was declared out or was considered to have stopped growing in size. Burn severity run immediately post-fire may not capture the true impact on vegetation; heat damage to vegetation (i.e. needle drop) may not be fully realized until a full growing season has passed, and so this classification may over- or under-estimate some burn severity categories, particularly in areas of dense canopy cover where the ground may not be visible in the post-fire satellite imagery. Early season fires may be fully classed as unburned due to a combination of lower fire intensity and rapid vegetation green-up in the spring. Default breakpoint values (based on research by the US Forest Service) are used for all fires across the province, regardless of fuel/timber types: <p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>· 0-75 = unburned <p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>· 76-109 = low <p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>· 110-187 = medium/moderate <p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>· 188-255 = high<p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>Data was derived from the British Columbia Geographic Warehouse (BCGW) and was clipped to the area of interest (Cariboo Region) This data will not be updated: <a href='https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fire-burn-severity-historical' target='_blank'>https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fire-burn-severity-historical</a><p style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt; text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt'>British Columbia Data Catalogue: <a href='https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/cariboo-region-wildfire-recovery-map-bc-map-hub-' style='color: rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line: none; font-family: "Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-indent: 0px;' target='_blank'>https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/cariboo-region-wildfire-recovery-map-bc-map-hub-</a> Wildfire burn severity 2017 Burn Severity High and Moderate Classification Licensed under <a href='http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/home/copyright' style='color: rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line: none; font-family: "Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>Access Only</a> This web application is <a href='http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/home/copyright' style='color: rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line: none;'>Copyright ©, Province of British Columbia</a>.
