Total 2020 burnt area in the Pantanal

Total 2020 burnt area in the Pantanal using the ALARMES 500m resolution product. Conservation units and Indigenous lands are shown in green and orange, respectively. The bottom left graph shows Pantanal’s average Daily SeverityRating (DSR) from January to August each year, estimated using the ERA5 reanalysis product (Libonati et al. 2020a). DSR is a numeric rating of the difficulty of controlling fires.

Year: 2022
