DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2016.11.001
Abstract: Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions have altered global climate significantly, increasing the frequency of drought, fire, and insect- and pathogen-related mortality in forests across the western United States. The accuracy of satellite-based estimates of canopy change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07038992.2022.2135497
Abstract: Abstract Several generic methods have recently been developed for change detection in heterogeneous remote sensing data, such as images from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral radiometers. However, these are not well-suited to detect weak… read more here.

Forest Fragmentation and Forest Mortality—An In-Depth Systematic Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Forests"
DOI: 10.3390/f16040565
Abstract: In recent decades, forest fragmentation has been shown to directly increase forest mortality by increasing stress, damaging habitats, and heightening vulnerability to disturbances. It also disrupts local climates and ecological processes across various regions. Therefore,… read more here.

The Relationship of Forest Fragmentation to Scots Pine Forest Mortality
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Land"
DOI: 10.3390/land14081537
Abstract: Forest mortality (FM) is influenced by several independent factors, including forest fragmentation (FF) at different spatial scales and multi-scales, site conditions, and stand characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship and… read more here.
