I did similar work using Landsat images for detecting soil salinity and crop management. You can check some of my publications in this field. If you are interested in a specific paper and have difficulty to download it, please let me know.

I used freely available Landsat 7 (ETM+) imageries to identify the disturbances in the world's largest mangrove forest caused by a tropical cyclone. You may have a look if you are interested:

There I covered the literature pretty well, so you might have a look into the references.

Hope that helps.

Article Cyclone Sidr Impacts on the Sundarbans Floristic Diversity

Thank you very much for your papers. I will try to follow your suggestions and see if I'm able to go further with my analyses.

You may want to get hold of the paper:

NELSON, B. W. ; KAPOS, V. ; ADAMS, J. ; OLIVEIRA, W.J. ; BRAUN, O.P.G. ; AMARAL, I.L. . FOREST DISTURBANCE BY LARGE BLOWDOWNS IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON. Ecology (Durham), v. 75, n.3, p. 853-858, 1994.

In case your library has any problem getting the paper, Dr. Nelson's email is [email protected]

Yes, thank you, I've got this paper but I forgot about it. Certainly I have to read it again. It seems that there aren't many papers focus on hurricane wind disturbances and their detection through Landsat images analyses. I've got only a book "Understanding forest disturbance and spatial pattern". Can you suggest anything else?

All the best, Lukasz.

Dear Olena Dubovyk, thank you for your very interesting answer. On friday I defenced my PhD thesis so now I should have more time to develop this issue. I will try to let you know if I was able to solve this problem.

All the best, Lukasz.

Hi Lukasz,

sorry for my late answer. I focused to monitor impact of bark beetle in conifer ecosystem in condition of High Tatras Mts, not really in windthrow but maybe you will find these arcticles useful:

1) from Sumava (Czech republic, BB damage, natural regeneration, Hais Martin)

2) Franklin - 2001 - Remote sensing for sustainable Forest Management

3) Goodwin et al. - 2008 - Estimation of insect infestation dynamics using a temporal sequence of Landsat data

1) from Sumava (Czech republic, BB damage, natural regeneration, Hais Martin)

2) Franklin - 2001 - Remote sensing for sustainable Forest Managemen

Assessing tha accuracy of the classification

To check change detection techniques:

Thank you very much for your very interesting answer. I am currently working on a project proposal focused on biomechanical effects of trees, but I will back to this topic as soon as possible. I will try to let you know about the results.

All the best, Lukasz

I believe You will find these papers useful for your research:

"Detecting trends in forest disturbance and recovery using yearly Landsat time series:

2. TimeSync - Tools for calibration and validation"

(http://and.lternet.edu/lter/pubs/pdf/pub4697.pdf)

"North American forest disturbance mapped from a decadal Landsat record"

(http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/pubs/pdf/pub4166.pdf)

Dear Neven Tandaric,

thank you for the links to these very interesting papers. I hope I can read them soon.

All the best,

Lukasz

this one may help,
