Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has become a central theme in global discussions on environmental issues as an effort to ensure that past agreements to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases can be fulfilled. In recent decades, catastrophes arising from anthropic actions and also resulting from natural processes that affect millions of people worldwide have been observed on all continents. Forest fires associated with anthropic issues and the increase in global temperature in recent decades have been the scene of several studies involving numerous researchers. Remote sensing has been gaining new ground and applications in recent years, enabling the generation of climate data from natural spaces, such as forest area coverage or fire advances in specific regions. The understanding of monitoring carried out by remote sensors enables the establishment of observations and the accurate analysis of climatic data and natural phenomena. In light of the global effort to combat climate change and considering the vulnerability of forests, it is crucial to understand past events of deforestation and fire outbreaks to comprehend their impact on the carbon cycle and the ecosystem services of forests.
Submitted manuscripts must be original contributions, not previously published or submitted to other journals.
