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...
Il presente studio si propone di valutare l’efficacia del telerilevamento nel monitorare l’invasione della cocciniglia tartaruga (Toumeyella parvicornis Cockerell) a carico pino domestico (Pinus pinea L.) nella città Roma, utilizzando immagini PlanetScope, ideali per rilevare focolai infestazioni in aree urbane e periurbane. Per condurre la ricerca, è stato creato un dataset riferimento contenente 238 alberi sani Toscana 2023 danneggiati nelle verdi Roma. Sono state analizzate oltre 30.000...
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...
Land consumption is the increase in artificial land cover, which a major issue for environmental sustainability. In Italy, Italian Institute Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) National System (SNPA) have institutional duty to monitor yearly, through photointerpretation of high-resolution images. This study intends develop methodology order produce maps consumption, by use semi-automatic classification multitemporal images, reduce effort detecting real changes. The developed uses...
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...
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...
