Forest attribute maps: a support for small area estimation of forest disturbances by Ankit Sagar, Cédric Vega, Olivier Bouriaud, Christian Piedallu, Jean-Pierre Renaud

“…Results In total, 1137 ha of forest area was affected by bark-beetle outbreaks during 2021–2022, corresponding to 494,000 m3 (general model) and 505,000 m3 (specific model) of growing stock volume, respectively. The associated errors were 2.2% for the general model and 2.6% for the specific model. …”
