Cover Story: The burnt areas in Greece during the 2023 fire season are 1470.31 km2. This study uses Copernicus land cover and tree cover density data and Sentinel-2 imagery to export fire impacts and burn severity and to highlight pre-fire tree density and land cover. The study focuses on fires in Evros, Rhodes, Attica, Thessaly, Evia, Corfu, and Magnesia, highlighting the challenges posed by terrain, climate, and human factors. Copernicus data help in prevention, assessment, and restoration. The maps and fire statistics analysis highlight a remarkable pattern: higher tree density before a fire in an area implies a higher burn severity. The total burnt area was estimated with a high accuracy rate of 96.28% compared to the one calculated by the Copernicus Emergency Management Agency. View this paper
