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...

The characterization of 1/fα scaling behaviour in normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) satellite data of forest ecosystems in southern Italy has been performed using the multiple segmenting method (MSM) and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Our findings point out to the...
