Water is essential for growing food and in some areas without irrigation agricultural production would not possible. Crop specific agricultural drought assessment requires integrated information on meteorological parameters, soil characters and plant vegetative dynamics throughout the growing...

Could the dynamics of vegetation covers be significantly influenced by fires? Is it possible to identify and quantify such effect? In order to detect fire-induced variability in vegetational dynamics, we performed a fluctuation analysis of time series of satellite SPOT-VEGETATION normalized...
