Facts
• Surface of Bavaria: 70.553 km²
• Forests: 36 %, about 2.56 Mio ha
• Inventory information available on just 700.000 ha (State
Forests)
• Rest: private owners / communal forests
2
Challenges
• Climate change, resulting in Forest Change
• (Fast) response on biotic and abiotic damages
• Forest Administration has to consult and plan forests for the
future, despite the lack of information
3
EO based products required
• Reliable, continuous, sustainable, cost-free data
• Optical and radar data
• Resolution 5-10 m multispectral; panchromatic with higher
resolution
• High repetition rates, relevant bands for vegetation
4
Technological gaps identified
• 3D stereoscopic satellite data for the creation of Digital Surface
Models (DSM)
• Time series considering Forest Health
• Fast Data in the wake of large-scale calamities (wind throw etc.)
5
Bottlenecks in current exploitation of EO data
• Lack of budget
• Lack of qualified personnel
• On the horizon: storage problems; Data management has to be
considered!
6
Copernicus: chances
• Sufficient resolution
• High repitition rate: time series is feasible
• Interesting bands for vegetation aspects
Great chance for Forestry Remote Sensing!
