Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global
processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial …

Space and airborne sensors have been used to map area burned, assess characteristics of
active fires, and characterize post-fire ecological effects. Confusion about fire intensity, fire …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

Elected officials and leaders of environmental agencies need information about the effects of
large wildfires in order to set policy and make management decisions. Recently, the …

Background Few studies have examined post-fire vegetation recovery in temperate forest
ecosystems with Landsat time series analysis. We analyzed time series of Normalized Burn …

The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between three field-based fire
severity indices (Composite Burn Index-CBI, Geometrically structure CBI, weighted CBI) and …

A forest fire started on August 8th, 2016 in several places on Madeira Island causing
damage and casualties. As of August 10th the local media had reported the death of three …

In this work, the capacity of NBR and NDVI indices derived from LANDSAT TM/ETM images
has been analysed for fire severity assessment. For this purpose, three fires occurring in …

Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps> 0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2
a− 1. Fire, windstorms, logging, and shifting cultivation are dominant disturbances; minor …

Summary 1 Fire is important for the maintenance and conservation of African savanna
ecosystems. Despite the importance of fire intensity as a key element of the fire regime, it is …
