Remote Sensing of Wildfire: Regime Change and Disaster Response

Dear Colleagues,

Wildfires continue to change the globe. Some of these changes may be considered advantageous while others are a detriment to ecosystem health, water and air quality, wildlife habitat, and the socioeconomic services provided by the affected landscape. Wildfire has become the primary driver of change across several continents. But this change has not occurred within a vacuum. Indeed, wildfire represents a complex problem that interacts with invasive plants, livestock grazing, and land management policy.

This special issue of Fire seeks papers describing research using remote sensing imagery that will lead to a better understanding of how fire is changing the landscape, how fire regimes are changing, how wildfire drives and is driven by invasive plants, livestock grazing, and land management policy, and how remote sensing can be used for wildfire disaster response.

I invite you to participate in this very special edition of Remote Sensing and share your land cover change research in savanna ecosystems.
