Abstract
Remote sensing is a technology that allows the monitoring of the environment with low cost and high periodicity, being the product of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), one of the most used. Thus, we seek to present the applications of the MODIS sensor and the seasonal patterns of land use and land cover forms in the analysis with biophysical parameters in semi-arid regions, being divided into three sections: the first is about the MODIS sensor, explaining its characteristics; the second is a bibliometric review of the application of biophysical parameters obtained with MODIS in a semi-arid environment; finally, the third session contextualizes the methods of detection of land use and land cover changes. For this, the database used was the Web of Science (WOS), which has access to databases such as ProQuest, Scopus, and Wiley. The period considered was from 2000 to 2019, and the keywords searched were: MODIS, Semiarid, and Biophysical. With this review, it was concluded that the MODIS sensor could offer relevant products for environmental monitoring, highlighting MOD13, MYD13, MOD09, MOD11, MCD 15, MCD43, MCDB3, MOD16, and MOD17. The studies that seek to verify the impacts of climate change need to be cautious in analyzing the results obtained due to the contamination of products by atmospheric factors. Furthermore, to evaluate the changes in a region, some studies prioritize using descriptive statistics of the images. Future studies should consider using time trend analysis in a collection of remote sensing products.
