Land cover changes following rewetting of 73 thousand hectares peatland after the severe 2010 peat fires in Moscow Region (Russia) were monitored using multispectral remote sensing. The results revealed a reduction area bare and dry grasslands, rapid expansion willow birch vegetation, steady increase wet grasslands open water. Both number clearly reduced compared to all wildfires region. Monitoring large areas over longer periods generally implies different satellites sensors. developed...
Forest-peat fires are notable for their difficulty in estimating carbon losses. Combined losses from tree biomass and peat soil were estimated at an 8 ha forest-peat fire the Moscow region after catastrophic 2010. The loss of was assessed by reconstructing forest stand structure using classification pre-fire high-resolution satellite imagery after-fire ground survey same classes adjacent areas. Soil root collars stumps to reconstruct surface interpolating characteristics non-burned mean...

Peat fires differ from other wildfires by significant carbon loss, the emission of greenhouse gases and combustion products as well serious environmental consequences. Not only biomass but also peat is burnt. A possibility detecting satellite ground-based data considered for in Moscow region 2010. The fire detection technique was tested superimposing on thermal anomalies Terra/Aqua MODIS peatland contours, analyzing vegetation cover changes before next year using Landsat multispectral data....
