Is the RdNBR a better estimator of wildfire burn severity than the dNBR? A discussion and case study in southeast China

Longyan Cai et al.

Summary: This study assesses the potential of using dNBR and RdNBR for estimating wildfire burn severity in southeast China. The results show that dNBR is a better index for burn severity mapping compared to RdNBR, and it performs better in forested areas and forest-grassland mixed areas. However, both indices have similar performance in grassland areas alone.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 sensors in mapping forest fires, both sensors showed acceptable results with slight superiority of Sentinel sensor in mapping burned scars. This suggests that both sensors could be a good alternative to EFFIS data for detecting details inside the burned areas.

Vahid Nasiri et al.

Summary: This study successfully modeled forest canopy cover in the Hyrcanian mixed temperate forest in Northern Iran using a combination of Sentinel-2 data, high-resolution aerial images, and machine learning algorithms. The results showed that vegetation indices were the most important predictors in the models, and the random forest algorithm performed the best while the elastic net algorithm performed the worst in terms of model performance.

Summary: This study compared the performance of different vegetation descriptors in the modified water cloud model, and found that the Red-Edge vegetation indices showed better statistical performance in simulating vegetation-covered areas. The modified Beer's law parameterization with VI = NDVIRE proved to be effective for accurate simulation in forward direction over vegetation-covered areas.

Model-Based Estimation of Amazonian Forests Recovery Time after Drought and Fire Events

Bruno L. De Faria et al.

Summary: This study combined different methods to assess the impacts of disturbances on forest recovery in the Amazon region. It was found that forests affected by drought, fire, and logging + fire had reduced aboveground biomass and longer recovery times. The long-term damage caused by these disturbances may result in permanent and increasing carbon losses from fragile ecosystems.

Wildfire Damage Assessment over Australia Using Sentinel-2 Imagery and MODIS Land Cover Product within the Google Earth Engine Cloud Platform

Seyd Teymoor Seydi et al.

Summary: Wildfires are significant natural disasters that have a negative impact on human safety, natural ecosystems, and wildlife. Remote Sensing (RS) images are valuable resources for timely and accurate estimation of wildfire burn areas due to their wide coverage, high spatial and temporal resolution, and low cost. In this study, an estimation framework based on change analysis using Sentinel-2 imagery and MODIS products within the Google Earth Engine platform was implemented to detect and measure burned areas in Australia with high accuracy.

Short-Term Effects of Fire Severity on Vegetation Based on Sentinel-2 Satellite Data

Aru Han et al.

Summary: This study focused on analyzing the vegetation dynamics post-forest fire by studying the leaf area index (LAI) and fractional vegetation cover (FVC). Results showed that the patterns of change in LAI and FVC were consistent across different land cover types after the forest fire. The impact of fire severity on vegetation recovery was also observed, with areas of low severity exhibiting the fastest recovery.

Summary: A methodology utilizing Sentinel 2 images to estimate forest fire affected areas and burn severity levels was proposed and successfully applied to fires in Spain and Portugal in October 2017. The comparison with EFFIS showed that this methodology improved area estimates by 10% and exhibited high correlation in terms of burn severity levels.

Quantifying contributions of natural variability and anthropogenic forcings on increased fire weather risk over the western United States

Yizhou Zhuang et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the increase in wildfire activity in the western United States in recent years is likely attributed to both natural weather pattern changes and anthropogenic warming, with approximately 68% of the observed trend in vapor pressure deficit (VPD) being due to human influence. Climate models indicate that anthropogenic forcing explains an even larger fraction (88%) of the VPD trend, providing a lower and upper bound on the true impact of anthropogenic warming on VPD trends in the region. In August 2020, during the occurrence of the August Complex Gigafire, it is estimated that anthropogenic warming explained 50% of the exceptionally high VPD anomalies.

Summary: This study demonstrates that wildfire significantly impacts the diversity and community composition of bacteria and protists in forest ecosystems, but the recovery process differs across different wildfire recovery stages. Changes in bacterial and protist communities are primarily influenced by soil chemical properties and vegetation succession.

Comparison of multi-source satellite images for classifying marsh vegetation using DeepLabV3 Plus deep learning algorithm

Man Liu et al.

Summary: The study showed that the DeepLabV3 Plus model better identified marsh vegetation, but there were significant differences in the classification accuracy of the 12 intelligent identification models. As the spatial resolution improved, the accuracy of deep-water marsh vegetation classification gradually increased. However, for shallow-water marsh vegetation, the classification accuracy decreased after reaching a certain level of improvement in spatial resolution.

Summary: Understanding spatiotemporal geomorphological and pedological changes caused by wildfires through remote sensing techniques can aid in designing efficient fire safety-based afforestation and restoration programs for forest lands. The combination of Sentinel-2 MSI data for mapping of burn severity related indices helps in better understanding fire impacts, particularly in regions with limited fire-related research.
