FIRE SEVERITY ASSESSMENT OF AN ALPINE FOREST FIRE WITH SENTINEL-2 IMAGERY

Alpine treelines reflect the impacts of climate and land use changes on ecosystems. Using low-cost drones and deep learning, we developed a method to map tree spatial patterns at fine scales across diverse environments. Our results reveal accurate detection and delineation of trees and spatial trends like clustering and size-class interactions. This efficient, adaptable approach enhances forest monitoring, aiding global efforts to assess treeline dynamics and their responses to global change.
