Several columns in Table A2 (in the Appendix) [1] were mislabeled. The authors wish to correct this mistake. The correct version of Table A2 is as follows:
Table A2.
Thresholds for the three remotely sensed burn severity metrics when the dNBRoffset term was excluded from the equations corresponding to CBI = 0.1 (unchanged/low), 1.25 (low/moderate) and 2.25 (moderate/high) for each fire.
