Improving LandTrendr Forest Disturbance Mapping in China Using Multi-Season Observations and Multispectral Indices

Remote Sensing, 2023
Forest disturbance detection is of great significance for understanding forest dynamics. The Landsat-based detection of the Trends in Disturbance and Recovery (LandTrendr) algorithm is widely used for forest disturbance mapping.

Persistent impacts of the 2018 drought on forest disturbance regimes in Europe [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2021
Europe was affected by an extreme drought in 2018, compounding with an extensive heat wave in the same and subsequent years. Here we provide a first assessment of the impacts this compounding event had on forest disturbance regimes in Europe.

Delayed fire mortality has long‐term ecological effects across the Southern Appalachian landscape

Ecosphere, 2022
Fire is a critical ecological process to the forests of the Southern Appalachians. Where fire was excluded from forest types that historically burned frequently, unanticipated changes can occur when fire is reintroduced.

Impact of Disturbances on Species Diversity and Regeneration of Nepalese Sal (Shorea robusta) Forests Managed under Different Management Regimes

Earth, 2021
Sal (Shorea robusta) forests, a dominant forest type in Nepal, experience different disturbance intensities depending on management regimes. This study compares the impact of disturbance on Nepalese Sal forests, which are managed on three major ...

Forest disturbance by an ecosystem engineer: beaver in boreal forest landscapes [PDF]

, 2013
Natural disturbances are important for forest ecosystem dynamics and maintenance of biodiversity. In the boreal forest, large-scale disturbances such as wildfires and windstorms have been emphasized, while disturbance agents acting at smaller scales have

Forest Age Mapping Using Landsat Time-Series Stacks Data Based on Forest Disturbance and Empirical Relationships between Age and Height

, 2023
Forest age is a critical parameter for the status and potential of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems and reflects major forest disturbance information. However, reliable forest age data with high spatial resolution are lacking to date.

Forest disturbances under climate change [PDF]

Nature Climate Change, 2017
Forest disturbances are sensitive to climate. However, our understanding of disturbance dynamics in response to climatic changes remains incomplete, particularly regarding large-scale patterns, interaction effects and dampening feedbacks. Here we provide a global synthesis of climate change effects on important abiotic (fire, drought, wind, snow and ...
