Satellite-based real-time monitoring and risk assessment of forest condition - A new generation of forest monitoring (WALD-Puls) Sub-project 2: Satellite-based monitoring

To better and more quickly assess the impact of multiple and combined stressors on the functioning of forest ecosystems and their associated ecosystem services, new approaches to digital forest monitoring using spatially and temporally high-resolution data on tree growth, tree stress, and forest damage are urgently needed. Particular attention is paid to the interface between high-resolution remote sensing data and ecophysiological monitoring in order to project highly precise, point-based observations of individual trees onto a larger area.
