Remote sensing and automatic procedures: useful tools to monitor forest harvesting

Combining remote sensing and ancillary data to monitor the gross productivity of water-limited forest ecosystems

Forest Fires and Remote Sensing

The use of remote sensing techniques for the study of forest fires is a subject that started already several years ago and whose possibilities have been increasing as new sensors were incorporated into earth observation international programmes and new goals were reached based on the improved techniques that have been introduced. Three main topics can be distinguished, in which remote sensing p...

use of remote sensing to monitor crop residue coverage and tillage intensity

satellite imagery was used as a rapid and spatially explicit method to delineate crop residue cover and to estimate the use and intensity of conservation tillage. the potential of multispectral high-spatial resolution of worldview-2 local data was evaluated using 11 satellite spectral indices and linear spectral unmixing analysis (lsua). experimental plots were examined; residue cover was measu...

Landsat remote sensing of forest windfall disturbance

a r t i c l e i n f o Knowing if a forest disturbance is caused by timber harvest or a natural event is crucial for carbon cycle assessments , econometric analyses of timber harvesting, and other research questions. However, while remote sensing of forest disturbance in general is very well developed, discerning between different types of forest disturbances remains challenging. In this work, w...
