Abstract

Climate variability and change are risk factors for climate sensitive activities such as forestry. Managing these risks requires “climate knowledge”, i.e. a sound understanding of causes and consequences of climate variability and knowledge of potential management options that are suitable in light of the climatic risks posed. Thresholding based on biophysical variables derived from time series satellite data is a new approach to classifying forest land cover via remote sensing through use of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index –NDVI and Enhanced vegetation Index- EVI. This paper aims to assess spatio-temporal forest changes through applied time-series Landsat TM, ETM, MODIS Terra/Aqua and IKONOS satellite remote sensing data of Cernica forest area near Bucharest, Romania, during 1990-2011 period. Additional forest biophysical parameter Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity - LST was considered in this paper. This information is complemented by in-situ monitoring data (field measurements, data collection) together with modeling tools (theoretical developments, mathematical and bio-geophysical parameterization, statistics of the main urban structures in their interdependency) and spatial analysis methods.
