English: Displaying volumes of burning reed bed in the territory of the Danube Delta (Danube Biosphere Reserve). The satellite image was received on March 24, 2019 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 (1610 nm), 2 - NIR Band (842 nm), 3 - Red Band (665 nm). The dry, undamaged reed bed on the satellite image is light brown with green, and the burned out areas are darker in color, similar to dark brown or purple, depending on the relevance of burning. At the bottom of the satellite image, we see a fire focus with bright tongues of flame and a smoke plume. 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.
