Abstract
Background
United States wilderness areas face increasing challenges from altered fire regimes and climate change, and land managers face ever more complex decisions about fire use. While federal policies permit various fire management…

•
DAP and lidar were evaluated for modeling fire effects.
•
DAP augmented with Sentinel-2 approached the performance of lidar.
•
Lidar and DAP heights exhibit weaker correlations as lidar cover decreases.
•
DAP struggled in high…
