We think we have uncovered the mechanism for the appearance of seasonal greening of Amazon forests shadowing within the canopy that changes the amount of near-infrared light observed by MODIS lead study author Doug Morton of NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Near-infrared light is just beyond the visible spectrum and plants with more chlorophyll reflect more near-infrared light.
Here's how Morton and his colleagues diagnosed the problem. In the tropics in June the sun is low casting long shadows when the MODIS or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer sensors that fly aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites snap images

In Landsat images he looks at two of the 11 spectral bands--the near-infrared band and a short-wave infrared band.
The near infrared reflects well from healthy vegetation and the short-wave infrared bands reflect well from exposed ground Albury said.
By comparing the normalized ratio of the near -and shortwave-infrared bands in the pre-fire image to the post-fire image we can estimate the burn severity.
The near-infrared wavelength bounces off of healthy plant cells and so sends back a strong signal to the Landsat detector that isn't present over burned areas explained Jeff Masek Landsat program scientist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Md.
But the shortwave infrared band--added to Landsat satellites starting with Landsat 4--has a distinct spectral signature for burned areas.
