Determining the Post-Fire State of Vegetation on the Territory of Ivano–Arakhley Nature Park (Zabaikal’sky Krai) Using Radar Sentinel 1 and Optical Sentinel 2 Data

Monitoring of post-fire reforestation based on vegetation indices of optical and radio bands

“…In particular, comprehensive studies of forests based on remote data of optical, thermal and radio ranges seem promising, allowing to identify various aspects of this complex multilevel and multicomponent ecological systemfrom photosynthesis, thermal and water balance to the determination of various parameters of the forest environment, such as the volume and density of aboveground biomass, etc. For example, methods of combining optical and radar remote sensing data for the processes of afforestation of agricultural fields and reforestation after logging and fires have shown high efficiency [1,4,5]. In this paper, the possibility of monitoring and assessing the degree of post-fire forest restoration based on a combination of long-term changes in the vegetation indices of the optical and radio ranges is investigated.…”
