What is Vegetation Recovery Drivers at Short-term After Fire Are Plant Community-dependent in Mediterranean Burned Landscapes about?
Large, severe wildfires can cause unpredictable changes in Mediterranean plant communities that undermine ecosystem resilience. Understanding the geophysical drivers shaping vegetation dynamics after fire is vital to provide integrated knowledge into plant community recovery feedbacks in the context of global change. We investigated the role of fire severity and a comprehensive set of geophysical drivers in the post-fire vegetation recovery of Mediterranean landscapes. We used physical-based remote sensing techniques to estimate vegetation recovery and examined whether this recovery is plant-community dependent in the short-term (one year) after the fire. The fractional vegetation cover (FCOVER) recovery was selected as a resilience indicator for Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots pine) forests, Quercus ilex L. (holm oak) woodlands, shrublands dominated by Cytisus oromediterraneus Rivas Mart. et al. (black broom) and grasslands. To obtain the pre- and post-fire FCOVER, we used the Gaussian processes regression algorithm trained with the PROSAIL-D radiative transfer model. The algorithm was parameterized to account for the variability of biophysical conditions in the plant communities consi
