“…The MODIS Reprojection Tool is applied to composite MOD09A1 and MOD13Q1 with the same projected coordinate system (UTM48N). MOD09A1 is preprocessed into 16d in line with MOD13Q1 to depict the temporal development of varied stages (e.g., slashing and burning) of swidden agriculture [40]. Then, the surface reflectance of Blue (459~479 nm), Red (620~670 nm), NIR 1 (841~876 nm), NIR 2 (1230~1250 nm), Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) 1 (1628~1652 nm), and SWIR-2 (2105~2155 nm) bands were used to calculate NDVI [41], EVI [42], Land Surface Water Index (LSWI [43]), and Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR [44]).…”

“…Here, NDVI and EVI were statistically calculated in consecutive two months based on the abrupt changes in vegetation indices, e.g., February-March, March-April, and April-May. The rule of a sharp decrease in NDVI and EVI during the period of slash and burn or before cultivating crops is often applied to detect newly opened swiddens in that very year [40]. Next, threshold ranges of MODIS NDVI and EVI between February and May 2001-2020, in particular those in March-April and April-May, were consistently determined.…”

“…Land preparation, such as slashing fallow forest or shrub vegetation and burning the dry fallow forest or shrub vegetation (Roder 1997) at the end of the dry season in March, is an important activity and sensitive to climate events. Kanemaru et al (2014) pointed out that the rainy season in northern Laos has begun earlier and its variability has also increased over 56 years (from 1951 to 2007) and climate change has become apparent, as seen in the 2011 climate event at the research site. These climate events face upland farmers with a major problem because they are prevented from burning biomass to begin swidden cultivation to support their livelihoods.…”
