Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of
forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level …

Forest planning, forest management, and forest policy require updated, reliable, and
harmonized spatial datasets. In Italy a national geographic Forest Information System (FIS) …

Forests play a prominent role in the battle against climate change, as they absorb a relevant
part of human carbon emissions. However, precisely because of climate change, forest …

Spatially explicit and detailed information on tree species composition is critical for forest
management, nature conservation and the assessment of forest ecosystem services. In …

Accurate monitoring of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is vital for sustainable forest
management. Generally, the AGB is estimated by combining satellite images and field …

Abstract Within the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework, consistent data
collections are the prerequisite for a successful reporting of GHG emissions. For such …

Nation-wide Sentinel-2 mosaics were used with National Forest Inventory (NFI) plot data for
modelling and subsequent mapping of spruce-, pine-, and deciduous-dominated forest in …

Key message This work analyses the rate of recovery of the spectral signal from clearcut
areas of coppice Mediterranean forests using Landsat Time Series (LTS). The analysis …

Forest stand volume is a vital indicator of productivity and carbon storage. Conventionally,
stand volume is estimated from field samples, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and optical …

Although estimating forest disturbance area is essential in the context of carbon cycle
assessments and for strategic forest planning projects, official statistics are currently not …
