Examining wildfire dynamics using ECOSTRESS data with machine learning approaches: the case of South‐Eastern Australia's black summer

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Australia experienced one of the most devastating and intense wildfire seasons on record in 2019–2020. One challenge is to create effective models to identify areas prone to wildfires and understand the vulnerable conditions that will lead to these catastrophic events.

Alpine greening deciphered by forest stand and structure dynamics in advancing treelines of the southwestern European Alps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Multidecadal satellite observations, like those from Landsat, enable the study of vegetation greenness trends at extensive spatial and temporal scales. Alpine ecosystems show significant increases in vegetation greenness, but the ecological processes driving this greening are less understood.

Impacts of fire on canopy structure and its resilience depend on successional stage in Amazonian secondary forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We analyzed the effects of fire on secondary forests' vertical structure in different successional stages using lidar metrics. Our results show that independently of the successional stage, secondary forests that experienced fire were more degraded than unburned secondary forest areas. Overall, our results show that forests in early successional stage (

Remotely sensing coral bleaching in the Red Sea

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Coral bleaching, often triggered by oceanic warming, devastates coral reef systems, resulting in substantial alterations to biodiversity and ecosystem services. For conservation management, an effective technique is needed to not only detect and monitor coral bleaching events but also to predict their severity levels.

Cross-Calibration of AQUA-MODIS and NPP-VIIRS Reflective Solar Bands for a Seamless Record of CERES Cloud and Flux Properties [PDF]

The CERES measured shortwave and longwave fluxes rely on the cloud properties derived using the coincident observations from the accompanying high-resolution MODIS and VIIRS imagers.

Woody cover and geology as regional‐scale determinants of semi‐arid savanna stability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Savannas are vital for global biodiversity and carbon storage, yet their responses to climate change and human activity remain uncertain. Using remote sensing time series and Bayesian Linear Models, we show that drought resistance and resilience vary regionally, shaped by complex interactions between geology, woody cover, fire regimes, past climate ...

Terra and Aqua MODIS TEB Inter-Comparison Using Himawari-8/AHI as Reference [PDF]

Intercomparison between the two MODIS instruments is very useful for both the instrument calibration and its uncertainty assessment. Terra and Aqua MODIS have almost identical relative spectral response, spatial resolution, and dynamic range for each ...

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

Denning chronology in an Arctic brown bear population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Denning is a critical behavioral adaptation for brown bears Ursus arctos to cope with winter, a period of extended resource scarcity. Bears reduce their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism during this time to minimize energy expenditures. The Arctic has among the most pronounced and longest period of resource scarcity. Thus, we predicted bears

Evaluation of MODIS and VIIRS Cloud-Gap-Filled Snow-Cover Products for Production of an Earth Science Data Record [PDF]

MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cryosphere products have been available since 2000 following the 1999 launch of the Terra MODIS and the 2002 launch of the Aqua MODIS and include global snow-cover extent (SCE) (swath, daily, and 8 ...
