The State of Vegetation in Europe Following the 2003 Drought
Multi-annual time series of remote sensing data acquired over Europe from the
Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Medium Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instruments were analysed to assess the state of
health of vegetation in Spring 2004, compared to previous years. These data
show (1) the dramatic impact of the 2003 drought on a variety of land cover types
in Europe and (2) the recovery of most ecosystems to a normal situation in early
2004.
