Forest dieback, often related to #ClimateChange, is increasing in many parts of the world, and there is an urgent need to develop an efficient large-scale monitoring system of forest health, to improve forest management.
This study by Carletti et al 2025, based on a combination of satellite and ground level observations, will allow to improve detection of forest dieback, with a species specific calibration, and can therefore be used to produce high-resolution dieback maps at species levels and thus monitor dieback trends over time.
