Cover Story: The distribution and characteristics of forest fuels are critical elements in the development of a national integrated forest fire management strategy. We propose a new approach for hierarchical fuel mapping of Mediterranean ecosystems. Our work introduces a spectral–spatial classification approach to accurately map fuel types and proposes a method for shrub height estimation on a regional level. The suggested methodology is based on the use of Sentinel-2 timeseries and freely available auxiliary data. The specific study focuses on Attica and Euboea, areas where significant fire events have taken place in the last three years. Our research demonstrates a promising methodology for mapping fuel types in Mediterranean biomes. View this paper
