TREEADS PF-SDSS: a web-based spatial decision support system for post-fire management

Changing fire regimes can disrupt the natural recovery of ecosystems. While ecological restoration prioritization methods and evidence-based experimental management studies exist, decision-makers often lack access to these resources. To address this, we integrated cloud computing, remote sensing, and decision-making algorithms into a web-based post-fire spatial decision support system (PF-SDSS) to support both strategic and operational restoration management planning. The PF-SDSS aims to offer rapid assessments of fire impacts on vegetation and soil, and propose spatially explicit management alternatives based on evidence. Focusing on usability, the system is designed for local authorities and restoration practitioners, tasked with making efficient, evidence-based management decisions.
