Overview

Burn severity layers are thematic images depicting severity as unburned to low, low, moderate, high, and increased greenness (increased post-fire vegetation response). The layer may also have a sixth class representing a mask for clouds, shadows, large water bodies, or other features on the landscape that erroneously affect the severity classification. This data has been prepared as part of the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) project. Due to the lack of comprehensive fire reporting information and quality Landsat imagery, burn severity for all targeted MTBS fires are not available. Additionally, the availability of burn severity data for fires occurring in the current and previous calendar year is variable since these data are currently in production and released on an intermittent basis by the MTBS project. Direct Download - https://www.mtbs.gov/direct-downloadMTBS Burn Area Boundary Full Metadata - https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.MTBS_BURN_AREA_BOUNDARY.xmlMTBS Fire Occurrence Point Full Metadata - https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.MTBS_FIRE_OCCURRENCE_PT.xmlFS Geodata Clearinghouse Downloads Page - https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php?xmlKeyword=MTBS
