TL;DR: The concept of change embodied in much of the traditional remote sensing literature was primarily limited to capturing large or extreme changes occurring in natural systems, omitting many more subtle processes of interest to ecologists as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral response and temporal progress of two types of disturbances of spruce forest (bark beetle outbreak and clear-cuts) in the central part of Sumava Mountains at the border between the Czech Republic and Germany, Central Europe were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Landsat scenes from July 11th, 1987 and July 28th, 2002 to assess the surface temperature change in spruce forest (Picea abies [L] Karst) following clear-cutting.

TL;DR: The finding that vegetation mapping repeated after 70 years revealed no changes in vegetation can be interpreted as evidence of a slow ecological response of constituent plants in such a harsh environment and geographic isolation may limit establishment and expansion of new species.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of topography on the surface temperature of spruce forest in the central part of the Sumava Mountains, Czech Republic, has been assessed using satellite data.
