The paper discusses the method and results of experimental study on estimating burn severity of forest stands after wild fires of 2010 on the territory of Republics Mari El and Chuvashia. The algorithm of qualitative and quantitative estimation of forest stands in post-fire period of growth was described in detail. The state of the disturbed forest stands was estimated on the basis of Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and Composite Burn Index (CBI). For the evaluation of spatial distribution and different severity of degradation of forest ecosystems after wild fires of 2010, an unsupervised and supervised classification of Landsat images of 2009-2011 was applied. Ground truth reference and field data on the state of forests were obtained on the territory of test sites in both Republics during summer experimental works. The research results showed high degree of correlation between the spectral data of NBR and CBI indexes. The total burnt forest area after wild fires of 2010 in the Republic Mari El is 100,300 ha, while in Chuvashia – 12,700 ha. The wild fires affected mostly conifer stands of the 1-2 age class in the Northern part of Chuvashia, in Mari El the conifer and broadleaved forests were exposed equally. Control field trips to the burnt areas confirmed the accuracy of the research and the developed methodology.
Keywords: remote sensing, spectral vegetation indexes, forest fires, satellite images, image classification, forest ecosystems
