The extent and severity of defoliation caused by Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus, 1758) in “Los Alcornocales” Natural Park in the first half of the 90s is calculated using Landsat-4 images from 1990 to 1998. Forest damage was quantified through differences in Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) of images from the years with defoliation (1994 and 1995) and the years before defoliation (1990 to 1993). The results obtained show a similar pattern in the distribution of damage with other studies, where the areas with the highest degree of defoliation are found around urban areas
