| Sumario: | Description of the project: The reference fire perimeters for Madagascar were obtained in the framework of the project "Fire regimes and ecosystem services in African biodiversity hotspots: can fire policies favoring climate change mitigation, biodiversity and local communities converge?" financed by the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS). Among the goals of the project is the accurate characterization of burned area and fire regimes at Sentinel-2 spatial resolution (20m). The burned area database has been produced for the period 2016-2022 in Madagascar, southern Mozambique, Eswatini and Eastern South Africa (Fernández-García et al., 2023: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8201841). The MGBAS2 reference data presented here is the validation data for the mentioned burned area database. The characterization of burned area is the first step of the project that also aims to analyze the drivers of fire regimes and their consequences on carbon dynamics, biodiversity and local livelihoods. |
