Afforestation processes, natural and anthropogenic, involve the conversion of other land uses to forest, they represent one most important use transformations, influencing numerous ecosystem services. Although remotely sensed data are commonly used monitor forest disturbance, only a few reported studies have these afforestation. The objectives this study were two fold: (1) develop illustrate method that exploits 1985–2019 Landsat time series for predicting afforestation areas at 30 m...
This paper describes the state of art urbanization in Italian coastal areas 2021, both at national and regional level. Moreover, we focused on six municipalities, aiming to evaluate land consumption relation population dynamics between 2012 2021 assessing per capita consumed each municipality. Finally, an analysis specific prone natural risks along coastline (hydraulic, landslide seismic, hazard) was provided. We considered medium hydraulic hazard, high very seismic hazard. The results...
The study of land cover and use dynamics are fundamental to understanding the radical changes that human activity is causing locally globally analyse continuous metamorphosis landscape. In Europe, Copernicus Program offers numerous territorial monitoring tools users decision makers, such as Sentinel data. This research aims at developing implementing a mapping change detection methodology through classification Sentinel-1 Sentinel-2 satellite goal create versatile economically sustainable...
Urbanization and related land consumption are one of the main causes ecosystem services loss. This is especially case for soil-related affecting functions limiting accessibility to natural resources. Satellite remote sensing environmental databases enable in-depth analysis urban expansion changes, which can be used monitor trends in provision services. work aims describe a multilayered approach assessment biophysical loss flows Italy caused by an increase period 2012–2020. The results show...
Afforestation is one of the most effective processes for removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere and combating global warming. Landsat data machine learning approaches can be used to map afforestation (i) indirectly, by constructing two maps same area over different periods then predicting changes, or (ii) directly, a single analyzing observations change in both response remotely sensed variables. Of crucial importance, no comprehensive comparisons direct indirect monitoring are known have...
The study of afforestation is crucial to monitor land transformations and represents a central topic in sustainable development procedures, terms climate change, ecosystem services monitoring, planning policies activities. Although surveying important, the assessment growing forests difficult, since cover has different durations depending on species. In this context, remote sensing can be valid instrument evaluate process. Nevertheless, while vast literature forest disturbance exists, only...
Developing appropriate tools to understand and protect ecosystems the services they provide is of unprecedented importance. This work describes activity performed by ISPRA for mapping types evaluation their related ecosystem services, meet needs “ecosystem extent account” physical activities envisaged SEEA-EA framework. A map proposed, obtained integrating main Copernicus data with National Land Consumption Map, according MAES (Mapping Assessment Ecosystems Services) classification system....
Italian coastal urban development is a problem which requires measures to contain land consumption and continuous monitoring action on the phenomenon, especially in those areas where tendency consume high.Two of major limitation achieving full awareness phenomenon are lack common European policies definition issues In this study aim analyse evolution occurred coastline diachronic basis (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018).We used National Land Consumption Map, produced by ISPRA yearly...
Given global changes and the loss of ecosystem services, it is crucial to assess effects landscape characteristics on service distribution for sustainable territory management. Italy’s diverse landscapes present an opportunity study this effect. This identified optimal elevation heterogeneity ranges that optimize four provisions across Italy. We mapped services Italy using generalized additive models (GAM) their spatial relationships with characteristics, such as heterogeneity, specifically,...
A critical challenge for urban forests is the arrival of Toumeyella parvicornis (or pine tortoise scale) in Italy, as this species damages stone (Pinus pinea L.), an emblematic Mediterranean species. The aim study to evaluate effectiveness remote-sensing data monitoring pest invasions area Rome, using PlanetScope images with a 1-day revisit time and 3 m spatial resolution, making them ideal detecting outbreaks complex areas. First, we constructed reference dataset, georeferencing 238 healthy...
