AIM OF STUDY: ForestAz application was developed to (i) map Azorean forest areas accurately through semiautomatic supervised classification; (ii) assess vegetation condition (e.g., greenness and moisture) by computing and comparing several spectral indices; and (iii) quantitatively evaluate the stocks and dynamics of aboveground carbon (AGC) sequestrated by Azorean forest areas. AREA OF STUDY: ForestAz focuses ...
A remote sensing-based operational tool using Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 free and open access satellite multispectral data, and based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, is under development for monitoring land-cover/land-use changes in the Azores Islands Natural Park.
