1 Landscape-Scale Postfire Vegetative Condition Monitoring Using Multi- temporal Landsat Imagery on the Cerro Grande Fire RS 2006 : April 27, 2006 Salt Lake City, UT Jess T. Clark Remote Sensing Applications Center Gregory A. Kuyumjian Santa Fe National Forest
2 What: Vegetation Regeneration Monitoring Vegetation regeneration monitoring on a large fire using landscape-scale scale remotely sensed imagery Compare zones of the fire that had different levels and distributions of post-fire treatments applied Determine whether 1) one could monitor vegetation condition over time 2) one could monitor post-fire treatment trends on large fires at a landscape scale with low costs
3 Vegetation Regeneration What we needed: Monitoring Landsat 5 TM or 7 ETM+ Remote Sensing support Boots on the ground local knowledge ~$1500 / year Annual time commitment Some good luck
4 Cerro Grande Fire Ignited as prescribed fire May 4, 2000 Wildfire May 7 Contained June 6 Out September 22 Burned 17,400 Ha (~43,000 acres) Image courtesy Albuquerque Tribune
5 Ski Area Golf Course Airport LANL* *Los Alamos National Laboratory IKONOS 4m Color-IR Image Acquired May 20, 2000
6 Cerro Grande Recovery Post-fire five year monitoring effort: Anniversary Landsat ETM+ and TM imagery September 28, 1999 September 14, 2000 September 24, 2001 September 20, 2002 September 22, 2003 September 17, 2004 September 27, 2005 All co-registered and converted to reflectance
7 Vegetation Regeneration Monitoring North Zone: Rendija Canyon watershed and north 23,450 acres 11,200 acres attributed as high or moderate burn severity (48% of zone) South Zone: Pueblo Canyon watershed and south to include LANL 19,650 acres 6,700 acres attributed as high or moderate burn severity (34% of zone)

16 Indices Used NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) Highlights photosynthetic activity Calculated annually NRI (Normalized Regeneration Index) Compares NDVI values between fire and controls to quantify vegetation regeneration Calculated for inter-annual annual comparison Red NDVI = NIR Red + NIR NDVI fire NDVI control NRI = 1 + NDVI fire NDVI NDVI fire + NDVI NDVI control
17 NDVI Year to Year Controls Control Blues suggest more vibrant photosynthetic activity; tans suggest much less activity

25 Vegetation Recovery Discussion NDVI values differ due to differences in acres of high and moderate severity between zones Differences in landcover type distributions More P-J P J in north than south, for example Extent of treatments in each zone were different More mortality of remaining vegetation in north Higher % of mulch in the south (both rapid greening (2001) and browning (2002) see delta NRI) Precipitation patterns

The classes depicted on the NDVI change map are based on a preliminary classification of the reflectance properties of the target area as recorded by a satellite sensor. The NDVI Change map is intended to support forest managers in their efforts to monitor vegetation recovery after a wildfire. This image map can be used to guide the assessment of vegetation conditions. This map may be modified by the field teams to represent actual ground conditions after proper field validation. Using this map for other than its intended purpose may yield inaccurate or misleading results. The USDA Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available during assessment of post-burn conditions. Geospatial data accuracy may vary. The USDA Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, or modify geospatial inputs to this map without notification.
