Cover Story: The analysis and classification of tree species and tree species groups has a long history in remote sensing and is not only of scientific interest but also important for applied forestry. Different machine-learning algorithms (Random Forest and Support Vector Machines) are tested using Sentinel-2 data and forest inventory data in object- and pixel-based approaches to classify tree species in two German forest areas. The proposed semi-automatic and highly scalable workflow achieved an overall accuracy of 88%, indicating that it is well-suited to be used on larger areas with a similar forest structure. Moreover, the proposed method allows a streamlined workflow for applied forestry by providing analysis results directly to mobile applications for validation and data collection in the field.

Excessive groundwater exploitation is common through the Taiyuan basin, China, and is well known to result in ground subsidence. However, most ground subsidence studies in this region focus on a single place (Taiyuan city), and thus fail to demonstra...
