“…This study provides an assessment of the effectiveness of the BAI, NBR, MIRBI, NBR2, NBI, and NBRT spectral indices to discriminate burned areas across a Landsat-8 satellite scene in two different ecosystems. It supports findings from previous studies that spectral indices solely based on NIR, SWIR, and TIR bands provide high discrimination of burned areas in a variety of ecosystems, including, for example, boreal forest [73,74], Amazonia [8,75,76], Cerrado [38,46,77,78], and semiarid [79]. However, this study also reinforces the fact that the behavior of the indices can vary between different ecosystems.…”
