English: Displaying burning of reed beds in the territory of the Dnipro Delta protected area (Lower Dnipro National Nature Park). The satellite image was received on April 10, 2018 by the Sentinel-2. This satellite image was downloaded from source Copernicus Open Access Hub, which was itself a surface reflection data in different spectral bands, so I applied a set of processing techniques (such as image mosaic and subset, band combinations and fusion, radiometric and histogram enhancement, etc) to get that image. The сomposite is created in "artificial colors" where the following channels of the satellite image from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are matched to the image colors: 1 - SWIR Band (2190 нм), 2 - NIR Band (842 nm), 3 - Green Band (560 nm). The dry, undamaged reed bed on the satellite image is light brown with green, and the burned out areas have a darker color similar to dark brown. In the center of the satellite image, we see a fire focus with bright tongues of flame, the area of the burned out area at the time of the of space shooting was about 8 km2 and extended further by 4 km2. Earlier, according to scientists, winter burning of reed bed contributed to the development of the ecosystem, but such fires can definitely not be done in the spring when the birds are already sitting on nests and especially in the protected area.
