This is an R file which provides code to read-in and view the MODIS-derived fire products from the Serengeti ecosystem between the years of 2000 and 2016. The two main products which accessed via the code is a raster of fire frequency from 2000 – 2016 (Anderson-et-al-Oryx-fire-frequency-2000-2016.tif) and the spatial distribution of annual burns from 2000 – 2016 provided as a set of stacked rasters (Anderson-et-al-Oryx-annual-fire-bands-2000-2016.tif).
