The environmental challenges the world faces nowadays have never been greater or more
complex. Global areas covered by forests and urban woodlands are threatened by natural …

Wood-boring pests (WBPs) pose an enormous threat to global forest ecosystems because
their early stage infestations show no visible symptoms and can result in rapid and …

One of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals is climate action (SDG-13),
and wildfire is among the catastrophic events that both impact climate change and are …

Central Europe was hit by several unusually strong periods of drought and heat between
2018 and 2020. These droughts affected forest ecosystems. Cascading effects with bark …

Detecting disease-or insect-infested forests as early as possible is a classic application of
remote sensing. Under conditions of climate change and global warming, outbreaks of the …

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus [L.]) is one of the most damaging pest
insects of European spruce forests. A crucial measure in pest control is the removal of …

Compared with disturbance maps produced at annual or multi-year time steps, monthly
map** of forest harvesting can provide more temporal details needed for studying the …

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics,
delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth over large spatial and multi …

This paper presents a burned area map** algorithm based on change detection of
Sentinel-1 backscatter data guided by thermal anomalies. The algorithm self-adapts to the …

Bark beetle disturbances increasingly threaten structure and functionality of temperate and
boreal forests globally. The early detection of bark beetle-infested trees, ie before beetles' …
