A combination of bibliometric and science mapping methods was carried out to explore characteristics of scientific production on the application of orbital remote sensing in fire ecology. The performance analyzes made it possible to identify the main actors responsible for the knowledge (authors, institutions and countries) and the journals selected for dissemination. Through co-occurrence and co-authorship networks we analyze the temporal evolution of knowledge, analyzing the emergence of themes and research methods, in addition to the pattern of interaction between the main actors involved. The research universe consisted of articles published in indexed journals at Scopus. Of the 2602 initial articles identified, 1977 articles were selected and a subsample of 1832 was selected for the period 2000–2019. As a result, we found that the production of articles started in 1973 and increased over time, with great expansion from 2000s, when different themes, tools and techniques were identified. Corroborating these results, we observed keywords networks more complex and richer in themes, tools and techniques in the period 2000–2019. On the topics surveyed, in the most recent period, there was a greater frequency of subjects such as risk, regime, history and severity. These topics are generally investigated based on data on active fire and global burnt area, which is why the articles most cited in the literature mostly dealt with techniques for obtaining these estimates. Regarding those responsible for research, we demonstrate that although scientific knowledge is concentrated in a few geographical centers and institutions, there are high scientific partnerships and cooperation.

绘制遥感在火灾生态学中的研究历史、合作和趋势

结合文献计量学和科学制图方法，探索轨道遥感在火灾生态学中的应用的科学生产特点。通过绩效分析，可以确定对知识负责的主要参与者（作者、机构和国家）和选定用于传播的期刊。通过共同出现和共同作者网络，我们分析知识的时间演变，分析主题和研究方法的出现，以及所涉及的主要参与者之间的互动模式。研究领域包括在 Scopus 索引期刊上发表的文章。在确定的 2602 篇初始文章中，选择了 1977 篇文章，并选择了 2000-2019 年期间的 1832 篇子样本。因此，我们发现文章的制作始于 1973 年，并随着时间的推移而增加，从 2000 年代开始大幅扩展，当时确定了不同的主题、工具和技术。为证实这些结果，我们观察到 2000 年至 2019 年期间关键字网络在主题、工具和技术方面更加复杂和丰富。在调查的主题中，在最近一段时间内，风险、制度、历史和严重程度等主题的频率更高。这些主题通常是根据有关活跃火灾和全球燃烧面积的数据进行调查的，这就是为什么文献中引用最多的文章大多涉及获得这些估计值的技术。关于负责研究的人员，我们证明尽管科学知识集中在少数地理中心和机构，
