Project name: Spectroscopic detection of Forest damage: Investigating new Italian holm oak declines from leaf to landscape level

Project acronym: SpecFor

Principal Investigator: Prof. Andrea Taramelli - https://www.iusspavia.it/it/rubrica/andrea-taramelli

CUP: I53D23004410006

Description: The project will utilize several satellite sensors to develop a multitemporal and multiscale approach that maps stress in different forest areas and measures its effects on the condition of ecosystem services. The project will focus its activities and pilot actions on a targeted set of nationally recognized protected areas, focusing on natural ecosystems and providing indicators of biophysical properties calculated with multispectral, hyperspectral satellites, and SAR sensors.
