Πίνακας περιεχομένων:
- <p>The consequences of forest fires have surged dramatically when fires cease to be a natural <br>occurrence in forest ecosystems and instead become a means to fulfil human needs and greed. Although <br>modern satellite-based technologies have been developed to detect fire incidents in various regions, <br>none can provide precise data with 100 % resolution and accuracy to distinguish between forest and <br>non-forest fires, particularly near forest edges or in areas with fallen trees. Human activities, combined <br>with climate change, have led to prolonged and higher temperatures during summers and reduced <br>precipitation, increasing the risk of forest fires. These devastating fires can ravage vast areas, <br>destroying trees and altering ecosystems, resulting in loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, disruptions to <br>water cycles, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. The loss of tree cover also has severe <br>implications for air quality, releasing pollutants into the atmosphere and negatively impacting human <br>health. Furthermore, the socio-economic consequences of tree cover loss are substantial, including loss <br>of livelihoods, decreased timber production, and increased risk of natural disasters such as landslides <br>and floods. The study aims to document the loss of green cover of the forest globally to observe the <br>loss of forest dynamics.</p>
