Model Overview

We estimate the age of a site by calculating the years since the last fire. We then fit a curve to model the recovery of vegetation (measured using NDVI) as a function of it’s age. An additional level models the parameters of the negative exponential curve as a function of environmental variables. This means that sites with similar environmental conditions should have similar recovery curves. More details are available here.
