abstract = {The impacts of agricultural expansion on wetlands are
diverse and complex. Land surface temperature (LST) has a
great potential to act as a global indicator of the status
of wetlands and changes in their hydrological and
evapotranspiration regimes, which are often linked to land
use and cover changes. We use the whole MODIS LST archive
(2000–2017) to perform time series analysis in the
Kilombero catchment, Tanzania; a large wetland that has
experienced major land conversions to agriculture during the
last two decades. We estimated pixel based trends using
three models: a seasonal trend model, and aggregated time
series using annual means and percentile 90. We
characterized the trends found by using land cover change
maps derived from Landsat imagery and a post-classification
comparison. The relation between Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI) and LST trends was also studied
(r =−0.56). The results given by the seasonal trend
model and annual means were similar (r = 0.81). Fewer
significant trends were found using the percentile 90, and
these had larger magnitudes. Positive LST trends (i.e.
increasing) corresponded to deforestation and farmland
expansion into the floodplain, while forestation processes
resulted in negative LST trends. Moderate increases of LST
in natural wetlands suggest that the impacts of human
activities extend also into non-cultivated areas. We provide
evidence of how time series analysis of LST data can be
successfully used to monitor and study changes in wetland
ecosystems at regional and local scales},
