Forested environments are subject to large and high intensity unplanned fire events, owing
to, among other factors, the high quantity and complex structure of fuel in these …

One of the primary variables affecting ignition and spread of wildfire is fuel moisture content
(FMC). Live FMC (LFMC) is responsive to long term climate and plant adaptations to …

This paper presents a review of concepts related to wildfire risk assessment, including the
determination of fire ignition and propagation (fire danger), the extent to which fire may …

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, is a
definitive guide to remote sensing systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing …

Fire is a widespread Earth system process with important carbon and climate feedbacks.
Multispectral remote sensing has enabled map** of global spatiotemporal patterns of fire …

Abstract Fuel Moisture Content (FMC) is one of the primary drivers affecting fuel flammability
that lead to fires. Satellite observations well-grounded with field data over the highly …

Determining maize water content variability is necessary for crop monitoring and in

Leaf spectroscopy provides an efficient way of predicting foliar functional traits, commonly
using physically-and empirically-based models. However, the generality of both models has …

The radiative transfer model (RTM) simulates forward spectral reflectance of vegetation and
is used to estimate physical parameters using backwards inversion. However, differentiation …

Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or
grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the …
