Example SMERF report

This assessment is made to compare a Savanna Burning Project that has an improved fire regime. A baseline period is the 10 (or 15 ) year period before the Project started where fire management was not undertaken properly; the Project period is the period since the project started till now. The calculations of various fire metrics for the most recent year (2015 in this example) of the project are compared to the Baseline (2000‐09) and the previous Project years (2011‐14).
