The areas containing these duds are documented in so-called impact maps, which are based on locations of exploded bombs; these locations can be found in aerial images taken shortly after bombing. To generate impact maps, in this paper we present a novel approach based on marked point processes (MPPs) for the automatic detection of bomb craters in such images, some of which are overlapping. The object model for the craters is represented by circles and is embedded in the MPP-framework. By means of stochastic sampling, the most likely configuration of objects within the scene is determined. Each configuration is evaluated using an energy function that describes the consistency with a predefined object model. High gradient magnitudes along the object borders and homogeneous grey values inside the objects are favoured, while overlaps between objects are penalized. Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, in combination with simulated annealing, provides the global optimum of the energy function. Our procedure allows the combination of individual detection results covering the same location. Afterwards, a probability map for duds is generated from the detections via kernel density estimation and areas around the detections are classified as contaminated, resulting in an impact map. Our results, based on 74 aerial wartime images taken over different areas in Central Europe, show the potential of the method; among other findings, a clear improvement is achieved by using redundant image information. We also compared the MPP method for bomb crater detection with a state-of-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) for generating region proposals; it turned out that the CNN outperforms the MPPs if a sufficient amount of representative training data is available and a threshold for a region to be considered as crater is properly tuned prior to running the experiments. If this is not the case, the MPP approach achieves better results.

Funding for planting missing species financially supports the conversion from pure even-aged to uneven-aged mixed forests and climate change mitigation / Joerg Roessinger in European Journal of Forest Research, vol 141 n° 3 (June 2022)

A stabilisation by planting rare or missing tree species is expensive and requires funding. A funding policy should mitigate climate change and support biodiversity. The goal of this study was to identify a conversion strategy of even-aged spruce-dominated forest stands to uneven-aged mixed stands with spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), and fir (Abies alba Mill.). A simultaneous nonlinear optimisation of the number of planted trees and harvested trees per species and per period schedules stand treatments aiming to maximise the long-term financial outcome. Planting modelling extends a density-dependent stand-level matrix transition model based on diameter classes with an age-class-based model for artificial regeneration. An optimal conversion strategy was applied for five funding policy schemes, each for five initial states representing different stages of age and species composition typical for spruce forest conversion in the mountain zone of the Western Carpathians. Only 50% and higher funding of planting costs for the minor/missing fir and beech species facilitates a substantial increase of their shares in stand volume. Funding decreases the volume failure due to mortality. Funding increases the standing and harvested volume, which mitigates climate change by increasing the carbon sequestration. Funding causes unintended effects on ecosystem services by lowering harvest diameters, decreasing the volume of less profitable beech, and temporarily reducing the stand density aimed at supporting plantings and their diameter increments.

Two case studies, of different elevation, from Romania were selected to be considered for setting up some observation points as lookout points. Fuzzy viewshed analysis was performed to evaluate the degree of visibility of certain landscape components and was also used as a tool for territorial planning. The main results of the research were some particular viewshed analysis area according to the dominant visibility directions. This methodology may be useful to local authorities, which are the only responsible bodies for authorizing, creating and setting up lookout points in a given space or for organizing certain planning activities.

Mapping temperate forest tree species using dense Sentinel-2 time series / Jan Hemmerling in Remote sensing of environment, vol 267 (December-15 2021)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 267 (December-15 2021) . - n° 112743 Titre : Mapping temperate forest tree species using dense Sentinel-2 time series Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jan Hemmerling, Auteur ; Dirk Pflugmacher, Auteur ; Patrick Hostert, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 112743 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] carte de la végétation [Termes IGN] espèce végétale [Termes IGN] Europe centrale [Termes IGN] filtrage numérique d'image [Termes IGN] forêt tempérée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Precise information on tree species composition is critical for forest management and conservation, but mapping tree species with satellite data over large areas is still a challenge. Since 2017, Sentinel-2A/B provide multi-spectral time series with global coverage at an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. This is a new opportunity for mapping tree species over large areas that has not yet been fully explored. Because of the high spatial and temporal resolution, Sentinel-2 time series improve the characterization of vegetation phenology and canopy structure, parameters that are intrinsically linked to tree species. The objective of this study was to test the utility of a Sentinel-2 time-series based approach for mapping tree species in a temperate forest region in Central Europe. Using stand-wise forest inventory data for single species stands we assess how well main and minor tree species can be mapped, and if the addition of environmental variables and spatial texture metrics improves the classification accuracy. Our time series approach utilizes all available Sentinel-2 observations and an ensemble of radial basis convolution filters to build cloud-free 5-day time series for each spectral band. The time series are then used as input features to classify seventeen tree species. Our results show the potential of Sentinel-2 time-series based classification, but they also show the challenges associated with mapping a diverse portfolio of tree species. Accuracy of the nine main species, with an area proportion greater than 0.5%, ranged between 98.9% and 66.8%, which is promising for a large area. Adding detailed environmental data and texture metrics to the spectral model only marginally increased the accuracy of a few minor tree species. Overall, the eight minor tree species with area proportions less than 0.5% were most strongly affected by classification errors. Although the absolute mapped area of minor species correlated well with the estimated reference area, the small class areas of minor species lead to high classification errors in relative terms. Mapping minor tree species is challenging for statistical reasons (i.e., class imbalance, small sample size and class variance). Using all available Sentinel-2 data allows building dense time series at high spatial resolution that are mandatory for improved tree species mapping. We were able to show that the spectral time series is the prime explanatory information, even when complementing our analyses with texture information and various environmental data. The results suggest that with the applied data harmonization approach precise regional tree species mapping is feasible.

Climate warming-induced replacement of mesic beech by thermophilic oak forests will reduce the carbon storage potential in aboveground biomass and soil / Jan Kasper in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021)

Context: Climate warming may change the carbon (C) storage in forest biomass and soil through future shifts in tree species composition. With a projected warming by 2–3 K over the twenty-first century, silvicultural adaptation measures and natural succession might lead to the replacement of European beech forests by thermophilic oak forests in drought- and heat-affected regions of central and south-eastern Europe, but the consequences for ecosystem C storage of this species shift are not clear. Aims: To quantify the change in C storage in biomass and soil with a shift from beech (Fagus sylvatica) to oak forest (Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto, Q. cerris), we measured the aboveground biomass (AGC) and soil C pools (SOC). Methods: AGC pools and SOC stocks to − 100 cm depth were calculated from forest inventory and volume-related SOC content data for beech, mixed beech-oak and oak forests in three transects in the natural beech-oak ecotone of western Romania, where beech occurs at its heat- and drought-induced distribution limit. Results: From the cooler, more humid beech forests to the warmer, more xeric oak forests, which are 1–2 K warmer, AGC and SOC pools decreased by about 22% (40 Mg C ha−1) and 20% (17 Mg C ha−1), respectively. The likely main drivers are indirect temperature effects acting through tree species and management in the case of AGC, but direct temperature effects for SOC. Conclusion : If drought- and heat-affected beech forests in Central Europe are replaced by thermophilic oak forests in future, this will lead to carbon losses of ~ 50–60 Mg ha−1, thus reducing ecosystem carbon storage substantially.
