Abstract
Wildfire potential is high in Naoshima because of climate condition. It is endorsed by the number of wildfire events. Since 1976, wildfire has happened seven times. To keep sound forest environment, forest must be maintained properly not to be fragile against fire and to be strong enough to recover as soon as possible after wildfire. In this study, we estimate prior vegetation condition in terms of burned severity and the potential of recovery using in-situ data and Terra/Aster satellite data.
