Table 1 Difference in burned area (hectares) and number (n) of classified unburned, low, moderate, and high burn severity pixels for the original versus the revised Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) program’s burned area and burn severity products. The percentage of overlapping area or classified burn severity pixels (Mean overlap %), difference in area or number of pixels (Median difference), and the Wilcoxon signed rank test P-value indicates whether there was a significant difference between the original versus revised MTBS area or burn severity products. Standard deviation (SD) was also calculated for mean overlap and median difference
