摘要

The Front Range of the Canadian Rocky Mountains has experienced increased wildfire frequency in recent years due, in part, to increasing drought conditions and recreational activity. Mapping the extent and severity of these wildfires is important in forest resources management, with significant environmental, economic and social implications. Forest fires can be a large, rapid source of carbon release to the atmosphere and thus obtaining information such as forest structure and biomass is important for both inventory and studies of carbon cycling and global change. The summer 2003 Lost Creek wildfire in the Crowsnest Pass Alberta Rocky Mountains encompassed a large area in the Montane, Sub-Alpine and Alpine Natural Regions and had a range of severities and overstory conifer fuels. Using near-anniversary pre-fire (Sept. 2002) and post-fire (Sept. 2003) Landsat-5 TM satellite imagery, the fire was first mapped using the differenced Normalised Burn Ratio (dNBR) approach, and compared with the existing fire map available from the Alberta Government Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD). Following this, the Multiple Forward Mode Canopy Reflectance Model (MFM-CRM) inversion algorithm was applied to pre-fire imagery and overlaid fire maps to extract information such as stem density, horizontal and vertical crown radius, and tree height for burned areas identified from both the ASRD and dNBR fire maps. Structural output from this advanced, physically-based algorithm was then used with field allometric relationships to estimate above-ground biomass for both fire products. The total burned area from the Landsat dNBR product was 15,369.48 hectares (ha), considerably less than the 18,966.40 ha from the ASRD map obtained by air photo interpretation. Using MFM-CRM, the percent differences for density, crown radii, tree height and biomass between both fire products ranged from 9.61% to 16.60%. These differences were attributed to the more detailed, per-pixel spatial precision of satellite image analysis and modeling compared to the generalizations inherent with ASRD fire polygons interpreted from aerial photography that were shown to include non-burned areas. These non-burned "islands" may not be of interest for specific source map applications, however, more broadly they represent an inaccuracy that may become significant over large and/or multiple fires at broader scales and for other applications. The effect of this well-known scaling issue was propagated through all outputs and illustrated the importance of avoiding generalisation in fire mapping. Use of satellite imagery provided higher precision over a large area, and further, with MFM physically-based modeling enabled important estimates of structural information and above ground biomass to be derived for both ASRD and satellite dNBR products. The MFM-CRM capability demonstrated here could be used to augment ASRD fire assessments at the Lost Creek fire, as well as for other fires and agency applications elsewhere.
