Establishment of Quantitative Indexes of Forest Fire Severity in Forest Region

doi:10.13466/j.cnki.lyzygl.2014.06.029

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the field inventory data,the quantitative index of fire severity(Fire Severity Index,FSI)was established.The grading of fire severity was conducted by means of FSI.According to CBI (composite burn index)from fieldwork,verification of FSI was put in effect.The results showed that FSI could directly quantify fire severity and accurately reveal effect of different fire severities on forest biomass and carbon storage.

Key words: fire severity index, composite burn index, biomass, Daxin′anling
