Medium- (MR) and Very-High-Resolution (VHR) Image Integration through Collect Earth for Monitoring Forests and Land-Use Changes: Global Forest Survey (GFS) in the Temperate FAO Ecozone in Europe (2000–2015)
Monitoring of land use, land-use changes, and forestry (LULUCF) plays a crucial role in biodiversity and global environmental challenges. In 2015, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched the Global Forest Survey (GFS) integrating medium- (MR) and very-high-resoluti...
