Fire has become a major disturbance agent in the forests of Southwest China

Retrospective analysis of forest dynamics is indispensable for formulating forest management policies. However, such work is rarely performed at a regional scale in China, especially the southwest region that serves as an important carbon sink. Here, we employed annual Landsat images and LandTrendr...
