Advanced Technologies for Forest Fire Detection and Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Forests, as a crucial ecosystem, play a key role in maintaining global biodiversity and climate stability. However, the increasing frequency and intensity of forest fires pose a huge threat to these precious natural resources. With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and remote sensing, it has become particularly important to apply advanced technologies to forest fire monitoring. Comprehensively applying different new technologies in various development stages of forest fires for the danger forecast, early detection, and spread prediction of fires can provide effective support for curbing the occurrence and development of fires. This Special Issue aims to showcase the cutting-edge research results and innovative practices in the field of forest fire monitoring, aiming to build a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and ideas.
