🛰️ Methodology

This analysis uses real satellite data from 6 sources processed by CanopySat Forest Intelligence:

• ESA Sentinel-2 (10m) — NDVI, NDRE, NBR vegetation indices and forest cover classification

• ESA Sentinel-1 (10m) — SAR radar backscatter for forest structure assessment

• NASA Landsat 8/9 (30m) — 10-year historical vegetation trend analysis

• NASA Landsat 4/5 (30m) — 40-year historical trend since 1984

• NASA FIRMS/VIIRS (375m) — Active fire detection and annual fire pixel count

• NASA GEDI LiDAR (25m) — Canopy height measured by laser from the International Space Station

All data processed via Google Earth Engine. Analysis date: 2026-09-16.

🌍 About Siberian Taiga

The Siberian Taiga is the world largest forest biome, covering over 5 million km² of boreal forest. It stores an enormous amount of carbon and plays a critical role in global climate regulation. CanopySat satellite data shows 99.1% forest cover with a positive recovery trend, though 551 fire pixels per year indicate significant wildfire activity — a growing concern under climate change.

📍 Methodological Note

This analysis covers a 50km sample zone representative of this forest region — not the entire forest. Data comes from real satellites (ESA Sentinel-2, NASA Landsat, NASA GEDI LiDAR) and is updated periodically.
