Burn severity as inferred from satellite‐derived differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) is useful for evaluating fire impacts on ecosystems but the environmental controls on burn severity across large forest fires are both poorly understood and likely to be different than those influencing fire extent.

This intensifying fire regime has coincided with a warming climate and increasing human activity, but the relative importance of the biophysical and anthropogenic drivers of wildfire remains unclear across this diverse landscape, especially at a finer spatial scale.
