Mapping Mountain Pine Beetle Mortality through Growth Trend Analysis of Time-Series Landsat Data

Disturbances are key processes in the carbon cycle of forests and other ecosystems. In recent decades, mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreaks have become more frequent and extensive in western North America. Remote sensing has the ability to fill the data gaps of long-term inf...
