Ecosystem Disturbance Index - MODIS

Identifies the timing, location and magnitude of major ecosystem disturbances such as wildfire, flooding, climate change and human-triggered land use. The Disturbance Index (DI; Mildrexler et al. 2007) algorithm is based on the consistent radiometric relationship between LST and EVI computed on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
