Abstract:This study assesses whether MODIS NDVI satellite data time series can be used to detect changes in forest phenology over the different forest types of the Mari El Republic of Russia. Due to the severe climatic conditions, coniferous and deciduous forests of this region are especially vulnerable to climate change, which can lead to stresses from droughts and increase the frequency of wild fires in the long term. Time series analysis was applied to 16-day composite MODIS (MOD13Q1) (250 m) satellite data records … Show more
