Title: | Monitoring of forest fire risk conditions in Portugal with NOAA/NESDIS satellite-based Vegetation Health Index | Authors: | Bugalho, Lourdes Camara, Natália Kogan, F.N |
Keywords: | Forest Fire Risk monitorization;Vegetation Health Index;vegetation stress;droughts | Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Journal: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/44517 | Abstract: | NOAA/NESDIS satellite-based Vegetation Health Index (VHI) was applied to study wildfire favourable environmental conditions for period 2001-2017.VHI consists of two terms: Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), and Temperature Condition Index (TCI), which reflect vegetation moisture conditions and vegetation thermal conditions. Joint analysis of drought conditions (VHI<40) and vegetation stress (VCI,TCI<40) on the one hand and burned area and number of fires on the other hand showed, that 88% of big fires in Portugal have relation with droughts or vegetation stress. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/44527 | ISBN: | 978-989-26-16-506 (PDF) | DOI: | 10.14195/978-989-26-16-506_10 | Rights: | open access |
