Satellite versus ground-based estimates of burned area: a comparison between MODIS based burned area and fire agency reports over North America in 2007 [PDF]
, 2015 North American wildfire management teams routinely assess burned area on site during firefighting campaigns; meanwhile, satellite observations provide systematic and global burned-area data.

Ecography, EarlyView.Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Spatiotemporal Variation of Ecological Quality in the Yinshan Mountains Detected by MODIS Remote Sensing Indicators. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA comprehensive ecological index MRSEI based on MODIS was proposed. The new indicators of greenness, humidity, and dryness are more applicable to the ecological evaluation of the desertification steppes. The introduction of comprehensive salinity index can effectively reflect the issue of soil salinization. FROM‐TO vector transformation can effectively

Sustainability Performance and Corporate Risk: Evidence From the Tourism Industry
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of sustainability performance (Refinitiv Environmental, Social, and Governance [ESG] scores) on corporate risk (CR). We apply stakeholder theory and the resource‐based view to an international sample of 247 tourism firms from 2002 to 2018.
