Spectral recovery=# of yrs reqd for pixel to attain 80% of its pre-disturbance NBR value (Years to Recovery, Y2R). NBR=Normalized Burn Ratio, which exploits differences in spectral response of vegetation & exposed soil in NIR and SWIR wavelengths. Enabled by #Landsat time series.
We used an #opendata synthesis of #boreal pre- & post-fire field measurements shared by Baltzer @forestecogrp et al. (2021). Incredibly useful data for examining drivers of spectral #forestrecovery post-fire.

Very proud of this team effort "A regional integrated assessment of the impacts of #climatechange and of the potential #adaptation avenues for #Quebec’s #forests" is now published
A (very long) thread. Buckle up!

Quebec’s #forests goes from northern hardwood with sugar #maple, beech, hemlock in the south, to pure boreal black #spruce forests up north. Natural #disturbances, go from single-tree windthrow or mortality in the south, to large stand-replacing #fires in the north.

Today @dunkindonuts execs and shareholders are holding their annual meeting. Raise your (reusable) #coffeecup if you think #dunkindonuts should put #forestsbeforeprofits and join the movement for a #BetterCup. 🍩 bit.ly/2vXfoUn
Did you know @dunkindonuts goes through 2 BILLION cups every year in the US? Oh yeah, and their cups are linked to the destruction of intact forests like the Canadian #boreal. 🌲
Protecting the Canadian #boreal forest is essential to addressing #climatechange. Donuts and coffee taste better when they’re not linked to #forestdestruction, don’t you think?
