Where there's smoke, there's fuel: dynamic vegetation data improve predictions of wildfire hazard in the Great Basin

J. T. Smith, B. W. Allred, C. S. Boyd, K. W. Davies, M. O. Jones, A. R. Kleinhesselink, J. D. Maestas, D. E. Naugle

This study uses dynamic vegetation data and machine learning to predict wildfire hazard in the Great Basin, finding that fire probability is strongly linked to vegetation biomass, bare ground cover, and drought indices.
