Example of a fire that burned in shrubland (COS2018) in July 2020 in Portugal. The fuel model classes assigned depend on TSLF (shrub age) with rules set from combining authors and fieldwork experience (a); the updated SM5 for this area results from using the rules based on thresholds from the SAVI composite for June of 2021 (see text for details) (b). Different levels of vegetation cover inside the burned area perimeter are shown in the basemap true-color composite (Fig. 6c). Fuel model classes correspond to: 98=unburnable; 233=V-MAa; 234=V-MAb; 235=V-MH; 236=V-MMa; and 237=V-MMb (see Table S1 for descriptions).
