5. Assessing the impact of post-fire restoration interventions using spectral vegetation indices: A case study in El Bruc, Spain
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Ecological restoration has become an increasingly used practice to revert degraded land and mitigate the effects of extreme events in vulnerable biomes such as drylands. Methods to improve the assessment of these restoration interventions are essential to ensure their success, optimize resources and identify improvement aspects for future interventions. READ MORE
