Spatial temporal analysis of burn severity using Sentinel-2 satellite data in Aberdare Afromontane forest ranges, Kenya
This study evaluated commonly used Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and Burned Area Index for Sentinel-2 (BAIS2) spectral indices in mapping burn severity using Sentinel-2 satellite data. We also compared the relationships of Field-Based Index (FBI) and Sentinel-2 derived severity indices. The study was carried out in Aberdare Ranges, a designated world heritage site. The Sentinel-2 data for 2017, 2019 and 2022 pre and post fire season were processed …
Influence of wildfires severity on tree composition and structure in Aberdare Afromontane forest ranges, Kenya
Wildfires strongly impacts on the forest ecosystems, with poorly understood consequences on the composition, diversity and structure within Afromontane forests of Eastern Africa. The impacts of wildfire on vegetation were investigated one year after the fire occurrence season. The burn severity was evaluated using Sentinel-2 satellite derived spectral index known as dNBR (difference Normalized Burn Ratio). This was used to delineate wildfire into…
Multiple impact pathways of the 2015–2016 El Niño in coastal Kenya
The 2015–2016 El Niño had large impacts globally. The effects were not as great as anticipated in Kenya, however, leading some commentators to call it a ‘non-event’. Our study uses a novel combination of participatory Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis tools, and new and existing social and biophysical data, to analyse vulnerability to, and the multidimensional impacts of, the 2015–2016 El Niño episode in southern coastal Kenya. Using a …
Mangrove cover and cover change analysis in the transboundary area of Kenya and Tanzania during 1986–2016
Mangrove forests are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Some of these forests traverse national boundaries complicating their management due to differences in governance structures between countries. To improve the management of transboundary species regular monitoring is essential. Remotely sensed data were used to estimate forest cover and analyze conditions of mangroves in the proposed transboundary conservation area (TBCA) between…
