Abstract The satellite microwave emissivity difference vegetation index (EDVI) has been used in previous studies to estimate FCs and FRP using traditional multivariate linear regression models. However, the nonlinear effects contributions of numerous factors that affect forest fires cannot be disentangled by this model. Using random (RF) model, study utilized multiple EDVIs optical normalized (NDVI) as key fuel properties resolve physical driving mechanisms daily over East Asia. results showed estimated were good agreement with observations, a spatial R 0.59 for 0.63 temporal 0.80 0.81 FRP. integration NDVI into RF model was found improve performance generate overall lower systematic errors than without variables. Model better In addition, greater importance NDVI. This largely due their resolution allowed capture fire dynamics time. combination observations shows great potential FC estimations global danger assessment.
