The ash dieback epidemic, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has been a significant issue in Europe for over 20 years, severely affecting ash tree populations (Fraxinus excelsior L.). In the Białowieża Forest, ash trees now represent less than 1% of the species composition, with a sharp decline observed over the past several decades. Thi...

In recent years, temperate forests in Europe have been particularly vulnerable to the effects of extreme events such as prolonged droughts or strong winds, which have a direct impact on the weakening and consequent dieback of forest stands. In addition, hot summers with little rain and warm winters with little snow, contribute significantly to the...

This chapter is, in a sense, a synthesis and summary of the remote sensing analyses carried out during the project. The remote sensing data obtained in the following years of the project made it possible to determine the direction of changes in the stands of the Białowieża Forest. Based on the remote sensing data obtained, a number of stand charact...

Individual tree detection algorithms (ITD) are used to obtain accurate information about trees. Following the process of individual tree detection, it is possible to use additional processing tools to determine tree parameters such as tree height, crown base height, crown volume, or stem volume. However, many of the methods developed so far have fo...

Dealing with tree mortality caused by forest pests is one of the most demanding challenges in forest protection and management. The current spruce bark beetle infestation in the Polish part of the Białowieża Forest (BF), which started in 2012, is considered the largest in history and has nearly eliminated Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) as a...

The spatial structure of plant communities in semi-arid regions is mostly derived by plant–plant interactions and environmental heterogeneity. In this study, we investigated the intra- and interspecific interactions and their contribution to growth inhibition in the patches of Pistacia trees and Amygdalus shrubs in semi-arid woodland communities th...

Precise determination of forest resources is one of the most important tasks in conducting sustainable forest management. Accurate information about the forest's resources allows for a better planning of current and future management as well as conservation activities. Such precise information is needed by both, individual forest managers and for d...

Traditional field-based forest inventories tend to be expensive, time-consuming, and cover only a limited area of a forested region. Remote sensing (RS), especially airborne laser scanning (ALS) has opened new possibilities for operational forest inventories, particularly at the single-tree level, and in the prediction of single-tree characteristic...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) technology delivers large amount of data collected from airborne level. These data are used for many different applications in forestry, civil engineering, environmental studies and others. To acquire the best possible results from the data, accuracy analysis is a necessary part of data processing chain. Therefore, con...

The Białowieża Forest (BF), a unique ecosystem of historical significance in central Europe, has a long history of assumed human settlement, with at least 200 known archaeological sites (until 2016). This study uncovers new evidence of the cultural heritage of this unique forest area using Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) technology combined with trad...

Among the complex tasks involved in forest protection, one of the most laborious is dealing with tree mortality caused by forest pests. The European spruce bark beetle, which settles primarily on spruces, causes major damages in temperate and boreal forests. To manage forest activities more accurately during outbreaks, robust models are needed to u...

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) is one of the most critical insect disturbance agents in Europe. In recent years, bark beetles have caused tremendous economic losses, and affected ecosystems over large spatial scales. In this study, we evaluated the influence of selected factors on the bark beetle outbreak in 2015, the year wit...

Disturbances caused by biotic and abiotic agents are inherent processes of forest ecosystems and often play a key role in forming the ecosystems themselves. However, they also may negatively affect wood production and alter ecosystem services. Thus, precise and up-to-date spatial information on invasion presence and dynamic is essential when planni...

The assessment of the health conditions of trees in forests is extremely important for biodiversity, forest management, global environment monitoring, and carbon dynamics. There is a vast amount of research using remote sensing (RS) techniques for the assessment of the current condition of a forest, but only a small number of these are concerned wi...

Tree crown attributes are important parameters during the assessment and monitoring of forest ecosystems. Canopy height models (CHMs) derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data have proved to be a reliable source for extracting different biophysical characteristics of single trees and at stand level. However, ALS-derived tree measurements (e.g...

We present a comparison of three approaches to support risk assessment of dead standing trees near communication routes. The three methods consider different possible data available, workflow complexity, results accuracy and practical implementation. The following inventory methods were implemented and evaluated: (1) passive remote sensing (RS), (2...

This study, carried out by an interdisciplinary team of specialists using airborne laser scanning technology in practice, is a collection of good practices related to the use of this technology in the identification of archaeological heritage resources within the framework of the AZP (Archaeological Photo of Poland) programme. Commissioned by the N...
