“…The Hotspots product has been obtained from the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), from NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Program, which delivers near real-time Hotspots (https://earthdata.nasa.gov/data/near-real-time-data/firms/active-fire-data). Each fire point contain information on the exact time and day of location, a global georeference system location (longitude, latitude), the brightness temperature of the fire and as mentioned before classified confidence level [Takahata et al, 2010]. As the RDA product contains the fire date from the year 2006 onwards, the set of Hotspots from the years 2006-2009 has been used.…”

“…A detection algorithm that identifies thermal anomalies in the images forms the basis of the product which does not provide direct information about the actual burnt area [Stolle et al, 2004;Miettinen et al, 2007;Hantson et al, 2013]. However hotspots were useful in identifying temporal patterns of burnings through detecting seasonal and yearly variation in the number of fires [Eva and Lambin, 1998;Giglio et al, 2006;Takahata et al, 2010] and were successfully used in burnt area estimation in both boreal and tropical regions by combining them with reflectance data or by calibrating the results with high spatial resolution data [Miettinen et al, 2007]. In South-East Asia, hotspots were used to confirm burnt areas detected on radar images [Siegert and Hoffmann, 2000].…”

The impact of forest fires in Europe is assessed in the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) from two independent information sources: field data collected at national level and remote sensing. This study analyzes the agreement between both data sources for all fires between 2000 and 2009 in five European Mediterranean countries. Remote sensing products allow the enrichment of the field data reported by countries as they provide detailed spatial positioning and temporal information of the fires. Also the relationship between the number of active fires detected from remote sensing (MODIS hotspots) and burnt area mapped in EFFIS was analyzed by means of linear and quantile regressions. For fires larger than 500ha our results show a general agreement of 56% (~70% in Spain and Greece, ~60% in France, ~55% in Italy and ~45% in Portugal). The estimation of burnt area from MODIS hotspots had a 68% fit.

KEY WORDS peatland restoration concession fire regime GIS remote sensing KATA KUNCI lahan gambut area restorasi rezim kebakaran GIS penginderaan jauh ABSTRACTPeat fires have caused carbon emissions and damage to local and regional communities in Indonesia. An effective fire prevention system is required for mitigating climate change and enabling sustainable development of peatlands. This study examined the fire regime in a peatland restoration area in Central Kalimantan in order to assist the establishment of a fire prevention system. The fire regime was analysed using spatial-temporal analysis, land cover change mapping, and logistic regression analysis. Spatial-temporal analysis was done using monthly Niño 3.4 sea surface temperature anomalies, daily rainfall, and MODIS Active Fire (MCD14DL) hotspots from 2006 to 2015. Land cover change was mapped using Landsat imagery from2014, 2015 and 2016. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify significant factors that increase fire risk. The temporal analysis showed that the strongest El Niño occurred in 2015, when the region experienced a 140days drought period. The highest number of hotspots was also observed in this year, with hotspots concentrated in the latter half of drought period. Moreover, spatial analysis using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) showed fire recur in degraded areas. The logistic regression analysis used topographic and proximity factors, land cover classes, and soil types as independent variables. It showed that fire in 2014 and 2015 was associated with several land cover classes and was related to historical fire occurrence areas based on KDE results. Several area of peatland forests burned in 2015 and occurred at the forest edge areas located near cultivated or degraded land (e.g. shrubland) and oil palm plantations. Based on the results, the fire regime in the study area is characterized by fires that occurring/recurring in relation to climatic conditions, especially drought periods, and are typically located in cultivated or degraded land cover classes. These parameters should be considered in developing a fire prevention system in the restoration area.

“…For example, the aerial photographs of the slash-and-burn areas in temporal scales are not available [12]. Only since 2000, various sensors, such as MODIS in satellites, have been put into operations which are widely used in the fire studies [8,13,14]. It is therefore difficult to acquire previous images of the areas.…”

Growth-Ring Analysis of Diploknema butyracea Is a Potential Tool for Revealing Indigenous Land Use History in the Lower Himalayan Foothills of Nepal

Slash-and-burn is a farming practice of the indigenous communities in the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. The traditional land-tenure system is based on a customary oral tradition. However, the government’s persistent denial of land rights has fueled the indigenous conflicts in the last few decades. Deliverance of scientific evidence-based arguments may underpin the ongoing conflict-resolution dialogues between the authorities and the indigenous communities. Dating growth rings of trees in a slash-and-burn system might help the indigenous people to find evidence of their historic land uses in the mountainous landscape. In this pilot study, we examined the potential of Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H. J. Lam growth rings for documenting land use history of Nepalese indigenous farming practices, as this species is being preserved during the slash-and-burn practices. The species is an economically important and ecologically interesting (as it flushes leaves when everything is dry, and sheds leaves while everything is green) deciduous tree species belonging to Sapotaceae family and widely distributed in Sub-Himalayan tracts. Five stem discs were studied which were originated from the Kandrang valley of the Chitwan district, Nepal. For the first time, we revealed distinct growth rings in this species which are marked by fibers with thicker cell walls. Growth-ring anomalies, i.e., wedging and partially missing rings, were also found. Four out of five samples could be crossdated at a marginal level (GLK ≥ 60 and t ≥ 2.0) which is a confirmation of the annual nature of growth rings. One of the samples showed black spots of oxidized wood which are traces of fire, suggesting evidence of slash-and-burn practices in the study area since 1933. This study suggests a strong potential of D. butyracea for growth-ring analysis to reconstruct indigenous land use history in Nepal.
