This study evaluated the opportunities and challenges of using drones to obtain
multispectral orthomosaics at ultra-high resolution that could be useful for monitoring large …

Abstract Pines (n= 121 species) are important elements of forest ecosystems. They are
economically and ecologically valuable and are often at the center of efforts to manage …

Forest fires threaten the population's health, biomass, and biodiversity, intensifying the
desertification processes and causing temporary damage to conservation areas. Remote …

Multispectral imagery is a widely used source of information to address post-fire ecosystem
management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of remotely sensed indices …

The increasing occurrence of large and severe fires in Mediterranean forest ecosystems
produces major ecological and socio-economic damage. In this study, we aim to identify the …

Mediterranean forests are highly subjected to fire occurrence. Altered fire regimes resulting
from changes in land use and climate may jeopardize their resilience to fire and induce …

Forest fires are a major hazard in Mediterranean countries, with an average of 45,000 fires
per year. Discrimination of different degrees of burn severity is critical to improve …

Mediterranean ecosystems are adapted to recurrent forest fires by having regeneration
mechanisms that overcome the immediate effects of fire. However, the increasing frequency …

In burned landscapes, the recruitment success of the tree dominant species mainly depends
on plant competition mechanisms operating at fine spatial scale, that may hinder resource …

Forest fires are one of the most important causes of environmental alteration in
Mediterranean countries. Discrimination of different degrees of burn severity is critical for …
