Intra-annual Ips typographus outbreak monitoring using a multi-temporal GIS analysis based on hyperspectral and ALS data in the Bialowieza Forests

摘要

Disturbances caused by biotic and abiotic agents are inherent processes of forest ecosystems and often play a key role in forming the ecosystems themselves. However, they also may negatively affect wood production and alter ecosystem services. Thus, precise and up-to-date spatial information on invasion presence and dynamic is essential when planning protective and sanitary actions. Gathering such data is still challenging if large areas, with limited access, are affected.
