Satellite remote sensing has been used in forest health management as a method for vegetation mapping, fire fuel mapping, fire risk estimation, fire detection, post-fire severity mapping, insect infestation mapping, and relative water stress monitoring. This paper reviews the use of satellite remote sensing in forest health studies, including current research activities; the satellite sensors, methods, and parameters used; and their accuracy.
