Figure 1. Geographical map of (a) the study area in eastern Sumatra, Indonesia and (b)
the magnified image of the inset in (a). The Landsat 8 colour image (b) was taken on 23
September 2015 (dry season). The red circles indicate the hotspots based on MODIS from
the Terra and Aqua satellites (MCD14DL) in 2015. Each grid cell is 15 km2.
Figure 2. Reflectance spectra obtained from peat samples collected at Palangka Raya in
Indonesia with water contents of 0% and 11%, respectively. In the 11% curve, the
reflectance about 1400 nm, and about 1900 nm has characteristic dips due to the
absorbance of water.
Figure 3. Plot illustrating the INI values (absolute value) between wavelengths from 400
to 2500 nm (1 nm resolution) by using the spectra shown in Figure 2. OLI bands of
Landsat 8 are indicated by solid lines (bands 1, 3, 5 to 7).
Figure 4. Plots of the relation between the averaged index values and normalized fire area
to evaluate the influence of vegetation on the estimation of soil moisture. The normalized
fire area is defined as fire pixels per single grid area, as shown in Figure 1 (b) show the
(a) NDPSI1, (b) NDPSI3, (c) NDWI, and (d) NDSI, respectively. Diamond (circle)
symbols indicate regions where NDVI values of 0.5 (0.3) have been excluded. Crosses
indicate the averaged INI values in the respective grid. Correlation coefficients for each
symbol are given to the right of the regression line. (NDPSI1: r1 p < .000, r2 p < .000, r3
p = .082, NDPSI3: r1 p < .000, r2 p = .759, r3 p = .383, NDWI: r1 p = .051, r2 p = .201, r3
p = .036, NDSI: r1 p = .701, r2 p = .383, r3 p = .090).
Figure 5. Comparison of the fire points and various analysis images. (a) to (d) are
enlarged images of the region delineated by the red line in the map at left. The black
pixels in the enlarged images of (a) NDPSI1 have NDCI values above -0.3, indicating
pixels of cloud, cloud shadow, and surface water; (b) black pixels have NDVI values
above 0.5 in addition to (a); In the (c) NDPSI3 and (d) NDSI maps, black pixels indicate
pixels with NDCI values above -0.3.
SM 1. The difference for the index value between dry and wet peat soil. It shows the
same results of Figure 3. Their bands were loaded in Landsat 8.
SM 2. The relationship between the value of indices and fire area like Figure 4. (a)
NDPSI1, (b) NDPSI2, (c) NDPSI3, (d) NDPSI4, (e) NDWI, and (f) NDSI.
SM 3. The correlation coefficient of several thresholds of NDVI in all indices and
analysis pixels and area.
SM 4. p-value of several thresholds of NDVI in all indices.
