Standardized Burn Severity Classification
| Severity Class | dNBR Range | Ecological & Soil Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Crown Scorch | > 0.680 | 100% eucalyptus foliage desiccated or vaporized |
| Partial Crown Scorch | 0.400 to 0.679 | Subcanopy burned, epicormic sprouting expected in 6-12 months |
| Understory Grass Fire | 0.150 to 0.399 | Fast moving fire consuming dry spinifex and scrub |
| Unburned Refuge | < 0.150 | Critical green habitat corridors surviving within perimeter |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do eucalyptus forests affect dNBR interpretation?+
Eucalyptus trees frequently resprout from epicormic buds under the bark. BurnScar incorporates post-fire multi-temporal tracking to distinguish temporary scorch from permanent tree mortality.
Can this data assist with emergency wildlife rescue planning?+
Yes. By mapping unburned island patches within fire boundaries, rescue teams can prioritize search and food drops in surviving refugia.
Are GDA2020 coordinate systems supported?+
Yes, full compatibility with Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) and MGA zones.
