Over the last few months, ESA’s Earth Explorer Biomass satellite has been going through a punishing series of tests to make sure that it will...

Earth’s ecosystems are undergoing profound and accelerating transformation because of climate change and other human-caused pressures. Changes in natural disturbance regimes play an important and conspicuous...

Remote sensing can be used to collect information for forests management. Previous studies have shown the great potential of multispectral satellite imagery for tree species...

CCI (Climate Change Initiative) uses climate knowledge and technical capabilities from across ESA Member States to support research and development.

The FRA 2020 Remote Sensing survey is a global collaborative study of the Land use dynamic between the years 2000, 2010 and 2018 focused on forest and forest changes...

Forest experts and scientists are asking Nasa to extend the life of a “key” climate and biodiversity sensor due to be destroyed in the Earth’s atmosphere early next year.

A recent study on harvested forest area in the EU (Ceccherini et al. 2020) reported a strong increase in clear-cut harvest area in recent years, based on remote...

Over the past decade, several global maps of above-ground biomass (AGB) have been produced, but they exhibit significant differences that reduce their value for climate...

We present “EU-Trees4F”, a dataset of current and future potential distributions of 67 tree species in Europe at 10 km spatial resolution. We provide both climatically suitable...

A new biomass mapping tool can pinpoint the carbon of a single 30 metre tree.
