The 2007 Anaktuvuk River Fire was an order of magnitude larger than the average fire sizein the historic record for northern Alaska and indices of severity were substantially higherthan for other recorded tundra burns. An interdisciplinary team assessed fire effectsincluding burn severity, potential plant community shifts, and effects on permafrost andactive layers. Observers monumented, photographed, and measured 24 burned and 17unburned reference transects, starting the year after the fire, and spanning the range ofvegetation types and burn severities. Three independent ocular estimates of burn severityat varying scales were made, two ground-based indices and one aerial index. Remotelysensed data and indices were...
