Sumario:Assessing the fire impact on grasslands requires understanding how the environmental and anthropic relationships affect the landscape dynamics. This study carries out a systematic literature review to understand fire behavior in grasslands through remote sensing techniques. To this end, the Scopus data was used employing the PRISMA method with the cluster mapping aid. Initially, 7,881 articles were found in the literature. The methodological steps applied to them resulted in 67 articles, which were used in the analysis. The results indicated increased interest in research in the area, with Brazil having the second-highest number of studies. Several publications utilized orbital images. However, there has been recent growth in the use of images obtained from UAV-mounted sensors. In addition to the NDVI and EVI indices, other indices have been used recently for analyzing burn severity and the vegetation recovery process. These subjects are primarily related to integrated fire management, which must consider conserving biodiversity and human use to reduce the fire's intensity and severity to make them more controllable and reduce their negative impacts. Therefore, remote sensing is essential for understanding the fire spatial-temporal behavior and, consequently, serves as a scientific aid to help decision-making in burn prescription cases, considering the ecosystems maintenance and the better grassland use.
