Description: The Fire
Effects Monitoring and Inventory System, called FIREMON (v2.1.1), integrates new
and current ecological field sampling methods with remote sensing of satellite
imagery to assess the effects of fire on important ecosystem components. The
primary objective of FIREMON is to measure the immediate and long-term effects
of a planned or unplanned fire on critical ecosystem characteristics so that
fire managers can evaluate the impact of that fire on ecosystem health and
integrity. This information can be used to refine fire management plans and
prescriptions. This system is NOT used to document the behavior of the fire, but
rather it is used to record the consequences of the fire on the
landscape.
