Impacts of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire of August 2020 on the forests of Big Basin Redwoods State Park
The CZU Lightning Complex Fire started on 16 August 2020 and burned across more than 35,000 ha (80,000 acres) of forest lands in Santa Cruz County, California. In this study, Landsat satellite images of pre- and post-fire vegetation cover from 2020 were used to first map burn severity (low, moderate, high fraction) patterns on the CZU Fire landscape in and around Big Basin Redwoods State Park (BBRSP). For mapping of live regrowing versus currently dead forest stands, changes in the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from 10-m resolution Sentinel satellite imagery (post-CZU Fire) were transformed into a new assessment metric called the Recovery-Regrowth-Green-Index (RRGI). The RRGI result derived from Sentinel NDVI change from October 2020 to July 2022 showed that just 24% of the burned forest cover in BBRSP was still alive and regrowing to a moderate level of new green canopy cover. Field surveys in BBRSP in July 2022 showed that trees not having attained a RRGI class level of 3 or greater, with sprouting of new green foliage on most of their horizontal limbs two years after the CZU Fire, were no longer alive and growing back. The unprecedented intensity of the CZU Fires together with two successive years (2021 and 2022) of extreme drought and summer heat has inflicted severe damage on the majority of old-growth trees in BBRSP.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
