about=Processing tools for wildfire burn severity, modeled on the MTBS QGIS Fire Mapping Tool. They appear in the Processing Toolbox under Wildfire Analysis Toolkit.
    
    Burn severity (whole pipeline) goes from a fire's perimeter and dates to an image pair, pre- and post-fire NBR, dNBR with the unburned offset, MTBS severity classes, area summaries per sub-area and an HTML report. The fire name and dates can be read from a WFIGS perimeter record. Severity map (PDF) makes a print-ready map.
    
    Imagery: NASA HLS v2.0 (needs a free NASA Earthdata login in a .netrc file), Landsat 4-9 Collection 2 and Sentinel-2 L2A from Microsoft Planetary Computer (no account), or scenes you downloaded. Images are calibrated from their metadata, cloud-masked, and read only for the area of interest.
    
    Severity: Build dNBR (dNBR, RdNBR, RBR and the offset), Draft burned-area perimeter, Classify severity (MTBS classes, with thresholds given or estimated from nearby MTBS fires), and Burn severity summary (percent, hectares and acres per class for a fire and its sub-areas).
    
    MTBS fires: give an MTBS fire's id or name and year, and the plugin fetches its perimeter and MTBS record (ignition date, MTBS's own image pair, thresholds) itself, then compares the result with MTBS's published classes. Find MTBS fires looks up any of the 31,000+ fires MTBS has mapped since 1984. No manual download: the USGS MTBS records are fetched and cached automatically.
    
    Validated against published MTBS fires: with MTBS's thresholds, the classes agree at a mean kappa of 0.78. Uses only QGIS, GDAL and NumPy, which ship with QGIS.
    
    The README in the code repository has every parameter, the method, troubleshooting and the validation results.

changelog=2.1.2 Clears the plugins.qgis.org check warnings (Bandit, Flake8); no change in behaviour.
    2.1.1 A new plugin icon: a flame filled with the MTBS severity classes, also on every tool in the Processing Toolbox.
    2.1.0 MTBS fire records without a manual download: the plugin fetches and caches the USGS MTBS records itself. New Find MTBS fires tool. The pipeline runs from an MTBS fire's id or name alone (its perimeter, MTBS's own image pair and thresholds) and compares the result with MTBS's published classes. Sentinel-2C scenes.
    2.0.0 The plugin becomes the Wildfire Analysis Toolkit, a burn severity pipeline modeled on the MTBS Fire Mapping Tool: imagery from NASA HLS, Planetary Computer Landsat and Sentinel-2 or downloaded scenes; dNBR, RdNBR and RBR with the unburned offset; drafted perimeters; MTBS classes with given or estimated thresholds; a whole-pipeline tool with an HTML report and styled layers; and a PDF severity map. Burn severity summary keeps its id and parameters and moves to the Severity group. Needs QGIS 3.44 or later. The full history is in CHANGELOG.md in the repository.
    1.1.0 RdNBR and RBR; any number of sub-areas; refuses rescaled dNBR input; fixes for the severity raster type and CRS.
