Long-term forest cover and height changes on abandoned agricultural land: An assessment based on historical stereometric images and airborne laser scanning data

The development of methods for identifying long-term land cover changes is important for many research domains that focus on environmental changes. Analyses of changes in forest vegetation cover are of particular relevance. The interpretation potential of results increases when, in addition to chang...
