9. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/GeoinformatikSammanfattning : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.
