In particular, the disease induced in olive trees is called olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS), which provokes the rapid desiccation and, ultimately, death of the infected plants. In this paper, we analyse about two thousands pixels of MODIS satellite evapotranspiration time series, covering infected and uninfected olive groves in southern Italy. Our aim is the identification of Xylella Fastidiosa-linked patterns in the statistical features of evapotranspiration data. The adopted methodology is the well-known Fisher\u2013Shannon analysis that allows one to characterize the time dynamics of complex time series by means of two informational quantities, the Fisher information measure (FIM) and the Shannon entropy power (SEP). On average, the evapotranspiration of Xylella Fastidiosa-infected sites is characterized by a larger SEP and lower FIM compared to uninfected sites. The analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve suggests that SEP and FIM can be considered binary classifiers with good discrimination performance that, moreover, improves if the yearly cycle, very likely linked with the meteo-climatic variability of the investigated areas, is removed from the data. Furthermore, it indicated that FIM exhibits superior effectiveness compared to SEP in discerning healthy and infected pixels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16071242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]],"date-time":"2024-03-31T13:28:00Z","timestamp":1711891680000},"page":"1242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Investigating the Impact of Xylella Fastidiosa on Olive Trees by the Analysis of MODIS Terra Satellite Evapotranspiration Time Series by Using the Fisher Information Measure and the Shannon Entropy: A Case Study in Southern Italy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5978-6031","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciano","family":"Telesca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council, 85050 Tito, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1462-2236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicodemo","family":"Abate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heritage Science, National Research Council, 85050 Tito, Italy"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Lovallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione dell\u2019Ambiente della Basilicata, 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"given":"Rosa","family":"Lasaponara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council, 85050 Tito, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1511","DOI":"10.1111\/brv.12627","article-title":"Scientists\u2019 warning on invasive alien species","volume":"95","author":"Hulme","year":"2020","journal-title":"Biol.
