Abstract :
Vegetation Moisture Content Monitoring originated from the needs of forest fire assessment. On the one hand, the water content of vegetation affects the forest ignition point; the other hand, it affects the burning rate if the forest is on fire. This study is based on the above reasons, using the GVMI exponential model, inversion of vegetation water content information in Daxing´anling region, Preliminary analysis the relationship between the water content of vegetation and forest fire conditions.
