Do practitioners correctly use your remote sensing based #forest #maps ? Help them to understand what they are meant for and what not! Make them part of it! We had a successful workshop with feedback and got new reference data to further improve our maps.

Assessing the structure of #forest 🌳🌲edges is key for understanding their ecological value and supporting a purposive management. See the latest paper @MoBruggisser how to do it with standard leaf-off airborne laser scanning data: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.20…
Example of a typical forest edge zone area. Left: Point cloud transect from profile 3 (width = 10 m). Right. Canopy Height Model (CHM) with the five profiles for which the profile metrics were calculated. More details on these metrics are given in the paper.

Thanks to amazing data contributors, the first version of the database on insect and disease disturbance in European forests (DEFID2) is now online - read all about it in the open access paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The Database of European Forest Insect and Disease Disturbances: DEFID2

Insect and disease disturbances appear on the rise in European forests and further climate change may make them more widespread and intense still. Despite the need to better monitor and understand...
