Short summary

This data description paper provides details on the development of the first Portuguese Burn Severity Atlas for 1984 to 2022, derived from satellite imagery via the Google Earth Engine platform. Moreover, a semi-automated code was also developed, which can be used to create a burn severity atlas of any other region in the world. The maps of this atlas can be used not only in fields related to fire ecology and management but also within research areas related to air, water, and soil.
