Dear Martin

> I don't think that it is necessary to further qualify "burned_area". If you do an internet search for this term you always come up with hits related to "wildfire" which would suggest that there is little ambiguity in this term. I propose to add the vegetation fire relationship in the definition of the term but keep the term short and concise.

Fair enough.

Perhaps we should also add "burned" to the list of area_types. That supports,
in particular, the possibility of a dimension which runs over different area
types, and it could be useful to include burned area among them.

Best wishes

Jonathan
