The time dynamics of SPOT-VEGETATION Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series are analyzed by using the statistical approach of the Fisher-Shannon (FS) information plane to assess and monitor vegetation recovery after fire disturbance. Fisher-Shannon information plane analysis allows us to gain insight into the complex structure of a time series to quantify its degree of organization and order. The analysis was carried out using 10-day Maximum Value Composites of NDVI (MVC-NDVI) with a 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution. The investigation was performed on two test sites located in Galizia (North Spain) and Peloponnese (South Greece), selected for the vast fires which occurred during the summer of 2006 and 2007 and for their different vegetation covers made up mainly of low shrubland in Galizia test site and evergreen forest in Peloponnese. Time series of MVC-NDVI have been analyzed before and after the occurrence of the fire events. Results obtained for both the investigated areas clearly pointed out that the dynamics of the pixel time series before the occurrence of the fire is characterized by a larger degree of disorder and uncertainty; while the pixel time series after the occurrence of the fire are featured by a higher degree of organization and order. In particular, regarding the Peloponneso fire, such discrimination is more evident than in the Galizia fire. This suggests a clear possibility to discriminate the different post-fire behaviors and dynamics exhibited by the different vegetation covers. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Summary: The study applied the Fisher-Shannon method to analyze the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) in Northeast Brazil and found that short-term dry/wet conditions display higher organization in inland areas, while long-term conditions show higher disorder in coastal regions.

Integrated Satellite System for Fire Detection and Prioritization

Summary: Satellite systems have been proven to be relevant in detecting, monitoring, and characterizing fire events for fire management activities. However, only a few satellite-based platforms currently provide immediate and easily usable information about ongoing events, such as active fires and danger conditions in the affected area. This study presents an Integrated Satellite System (ISS) that utilizes satellite techniques and a Fire Danger Dynamic Index (FDDI) to provide near real-time integrated information about fire presence and danger. The results demonstrate that the ISS system can contribute significantly to fire prioritization and help mitigate the impact of fires on populated areas, infrastructure, and the environment.

Shannon Entropy Analysis of Reservoir-Triggered Seismicity at Song Tranh 2 Hydropower Plant, Vietnam

Summary: The study investigates the reservoir-triggered seismicity at the Song Tranh 2 reservoir in Vietnam using Shannon entropy. It reveals clear links between the temporal fluctuations of the water level and the time-varying Shannon entropy of the seismicity interevent times. This supports the belief that the reservoir operational regime is a source of the seismicity. Additionally, Shannon entropy sheds light on the tectonic mechanisms behind the reservoir-triggered seismicity, showing that stress changes due to water level variation lead to greater disorder and instability, resulting in increased seismic activity.

Summary: This study performs a visibility graph analysis of seismicity triggered by the Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant in Vietnam, and analyzes the relationship between seismic (Gutenberg-Richter b-value) and topological (k-M slope) parameters of seismicity. The findings indicate that the relationship between the b-value and k-M slope of the investigated seismicity is consistent with that characterizing tectonic seismicity.

Exploring Long-Term Anomalies in the Vegetation Cover of Peri-Urban Parks Using the Fisher-Shannon Method

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the potential of the Fisher-Shannon statistical method applied to the MODIS satellite time series for detecting small multiyear trends and changes in vegetation cover. Analysis of three peri-urban parks near Rome and Naples revealed that Castel Volturno exhibited the highest Shannon entropy and lowest Fisher Information Measure, indicating a low level of order and organization in the vegetation time series. Comparison with in situ analyzed and independent data sets confirmed the existence of subtle, small multiyear trends and changes in MODIS-based vegetation indices.

Multifractal Analysis of MODIS Aqua and Terra Satellite Time Series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Enhanced Vegetation Index of Sites Affected by Wildfires

Rui Ba, Michele Lovallo, Weiguo Song, Hui Zhang, Luciano Telesca

Summary: This study investigates the recovery process of vegetation after the Camp Fire in California in 2018 by analyzing the time series of MODIS Aqua and Terra Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) using multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis. The results indicate that the vegetation index time series exhibit six- and twelve-month periodicities, with longer periods being more pronounced in areas affected by two fires. The fires also lead to increased persistence and complexity of the NDVI and EVI time series, suggesting the presence of positive feedback mechanisms in the recovery process.

Summary: Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is a well-established method in near-surface geophysics, but deep ERT (DERT) mapping of subsurface resistivity patterns beyond 1 km depth is limited. This review aims to define DERT method clearly and identify a depth threshold for investigation. Methodological and technological aspects are addressed, with future research directions focusing on machine learning for improved data processing and interpretation.

Discerning Xylella fastidiosa-Infected Olive Orchards in the Time Series of MODIS Terra Satellite Evapotranspiration Data by Using the Fisher-Shannon Analysis and the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis

Luciano Telesca, Nicodemo Abate, Farid Faridani, Michele Lovallo, Rosa Lasaponara

Summary: Xylella fastidiosa is a phytobacterium that causes severe diseases in various species. Its infection on olive trees leads to the olive quick decline syndrome, resulting in rapid tree desiccation and death. This study analyzes MODIS satellite evapotranspiration data using the Fisher-Shannon method and the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to detect the presence of Xylella fastidiosa. The results indicate that these methods can effectively differentiate between infected and healthy sites, with the maximum of the multifractal spectrum performing the best. These findings suggest the potential use of these methods for early detection of plant diseases.
