Methodology:
The burnt areas were obtained as polygons from the “European Forest Fire Information System-EFFIS” (http://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu) provided by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). The polygons were dissolved in order to create one layer for all the years; therefore, if an area has been affected by fires on multiple occasions, it will just present as affected by fires.
