Soil salinity characteristics using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images and statistical analysis

Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, 2013
Remote sensing is currently a tremendous asset in controlling and monitoring soil salinity. Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images can be obtained daily, are free, offer more opportunities to acquire cloud-free images and may be preferred over high-resolution spatial data.

Associations between residential greenness, land cover and risk of celiac disease in genetically at‐risk children: Celiac Prediction in Skåne study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Our aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD). Methods The Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years ...

Mt. Etna tropospheric ash retrieval and sensitivity analysis using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer measurements

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2008
A retrieval of tropospheric volcanic ash from Mt Etna has been carried out, us- ing measurements from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The NASA-MODIS satellite instrument acquires images in the 0.4 to 14 µm spectral range with a spatial resolution of 1 km at nadir.

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...
