Monitoring Vegetation Greenness Using Satellite Data
Author: T. J. Lynham
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Great Lakes Forestry Centre
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
By monitoring the greenness of vegetation, it may be possible to provide fire management agencies with timely information on changing forest hazard conditions. This study monitors general seasonal variation in greenness throughout the 1993 growing season in Ontario using 1-kilometre resolution Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer ten-day composites. Data for several sample sites across Ontario's major forest regions are analyzed to report on the seasonal trends. A second aspect of the study monitors annual variation in greenness by studying four phenologically coincident scenes of the Sudbury Basin, with images taken over two decades using 50-metre-resolution LANDSAT data and analyzed to show increases in vegetation due to reductions in sulphur dioxide emissions. A simple regression equation that depends on a fuel moisture parameter was used to model and predict forest fire occurrence in the Basin area and indicate the effect of revegetation on forest fire decreases.

Thematic Mapping From Satellite Imagery: A Guidebook
Author: J. Denègre
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483101533
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Thematic Mapping from Satellite Imagery: A Guidebook discusses methods in producing maps using satellite images. The book is comprised of five chapters; each chapter covers one stage of the process. Chapter 1 tackles the satellite remote sensing imaging and its cartographic significance. Chapter 2 discusses the production processes for extracting information from satellite data. The next chapter covers the methods for combining satellite-derived information with that obtained from conventional sources. Chapter 4 deals with design and semiology for cartographic representation, and Chapter 5 presents examples of applications. The book will be of great use to cartographers who want to utilize satellite imaging in generating a map.

Fire Effects on Soil Properties
Author: Paulo Pereira
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486308155
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
Wildland fires are occurring more frequently and affecting more of Earth's surface than ever before. These fires affect the properties of soils and the processes by which they form, but the nature of these impacts has not been well understood. Given that healthy soil is necessary to sustain biodiversity, ecosystems and agriculture, the impact of fire on soil is a vital field of research. Fire Effects on Soil Properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical, biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field, it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world, dealing with ash, meso and macrofauna, smouldering fires, recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils. It also describes current best practice methodologies for research and monitoring of fire effects and new methodologies for future research. This is the first time information on this topic has been presented in a single volume and the book will be an important reference for students, practitioners, managers and academics interested in the effects of fire on ecosystems, including soil scientists, geologists, forestry researchers and environmentalists.
