Marina Bisson,Alessandro Fornaciai,Alessandro Coli,Francesco Mazzarini,Maria Teresa Pareschi +4 more
TLDR
The VRAF index is a good parameter for assessing the capability of vegetation to recover in northern Mediterranean areas and should be used for assessing human intervention to improve this capability.About:

Challenges of assessing fire and burn severity using field measures, remote sensing and modelling
Penelope Morgan,Robert E. Keane,Gregory K. Dillon,Theresa B. Jain,Andrew T. Hudak,Eva C. Karau,Pamela G. Sikkink,Zachary A. Holden,Eva K. Strand +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fire and burn on vegetation and soil using field methods, remote sensing and models are discussed. But instead of collapsing many diverse, complex and interacting fire effects into a single severity index, they suggest instead of directly measuring and then integrated into severity index keys specifically designed for objective severity assessment, they highlight best practices for selecting imagery, designing an index, determining timing and deciding what to measure.

The temporal dimension of differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) fire/burn severity studies: the case of the large 2007 Peloponnese wildfires in Greece.
TL;DR: In this article, the temporal dimension of differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) studies was studied for the case of the large 2007 Peloponnese wildfires in Greece.

Detecting post-fire burn severity and vegetation recovery using multitemporal remote sensing spectral indices and field-collected composite burn index data in a ponderosa pine forest
Xuexia Chen,James E. Vogelmann,Matthew Rollins,Donald O. Ohlen,Carl H. Key,Limin Yang,Chengquan Huang,Hua Shi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the correlations between multitemporal spectral indices and field-observed burn severity, and provided a practical method to estimate burn severity and vegetation recovery.

Advances in Remote Sensing of Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring - A Review
TL;DR: Gitas et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a method for forest management and remote sensing at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUPTHA) in Greece, which is based on the work of Anastasia Polychronaki.

Exploring the relationships between post-fire vegetation regeneration dynamics, topography and burn severity: A case study from the Montane Cordillera Ecozones of Western Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between vegetation regeneration dynamics to topography and burn severity for a Canadian landscape were investigated using freely available Earth Observation (EO) imagery from Landsat TM sensor.

A Scaling Method for Priorities in Hierarchical Structures
TL;DR: A method of scaling ratios using the principal eigenvector of a positive pairwise comparison matrix is investigated, showing that λmax = n is a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency.

Effects of fire on properties of forest soils: a review
TL;DR: This work is a review of the up-to-date literature dealing with changes imposed by fires on properties of forest soils, and ecological implications of these changes are described.

Image-Based Atmospheric Corrections - Revisited and Improved
TL;DR: In this paper, an image-based procedure that expands on the ~10s model by including a simple multiplicative correction for the effect of atmospheric transmittance was presented, and the results were compared with those generated by the models that used in-situ atmospheric field measurements and RTC software.

Revised Landsat-5 TM radiometric calibration procedures and postcalibration dynamic ranges
Gyanesh Chander,Brian L. Markham +1 more
TL;DR: Landsat-5 (L5) Thematic Mapper data processed and distributed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation System (EROS) Data Center (EDC) will be radiometrically calibrated using a new procedure and revised calibration parameters to improve absolute calibration accuracy, consistency over time, and consistency with Landsat-7 (L7) Enhanced Thematic mapper Plus (ETM+) data.

Wildfire as a hydrological and geomorphological agent
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes current knowledge and identifies research gaps focusing particularly on the contribution of research from the Mediterranean Basin, Australia and South Africa over the last two decades or so to the state of knowledge mostly built on research carried out in the USA.
