Digital Twins For Understanding Forest Disturbances And Recovery From Space
Digital Forest Models Could Boost Understanding Of Forest Dynamicsclimate Change And Human Activities Cause Unprecedented Changes In Forest Structure And Composition. However, It Is Still Unknown How Forest Structure Is Impacted By Disturbances And How We Can Leverage Satellite Data To Detect And Monitor Various Levels Of Disturbances. The Eu-Funded Spacetwin Project Will Investigate How Drought, Fire And Logging Disturbances Affect A Range Of Tropical And Temperate Forest Ecosystems. Using The Most Detailed Structural And Radiometric 3D Forest Models Ever Built, Spacetwin Will Digitally Reproduce Real-World Forest Areas. These So-Called ‘Digital Twins’ Will Enhance Our Ability To Observe, Quantify And Understand Forest Disturbances.
