This study was performed to estimate non-CO₂ greenhouse gases (i.e., GHGs) emission from biomass burning at a local scale. Estimation of non-CO₂ GHGs emission was conducted using Landsat TM satellite imagery in order to assess the damage degree in burnt area and its effect on non-CO₂ GHGs emission....
