  1. 1. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Julia Edje; [2023]
    Keywords : vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

    Abstract : 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.
