Integrating machine learning for enhanced wildfire severity prediction: A study in the Upper Colorado River basin.
Wildfires pose significant threats worldwide, requiring accurate prediction for mitigation. This study uses machine learning techniques to forecast wildfire severity in the Upper Colorado River basin. Datasets from 1984 to 2019 and key indicators like weather conditions and land use were employed. Random Forest outperformed Artificial Neural Network, achieving 72 % accuracy. Influential predictors include air temperature, vapor pressure deficit, NDVI, and fuel moisture. Solar radiation, SPEI, precipitation, and evapotranspiration also contribute significantly. Validation against actual severities from 2016 to 2019 showed mean prediction errors of 11.2 %, affirming the model's reliability. These results highlight the efficacy of machine learning in understanding wildfire severity, especially in vulnerable regions.
期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
