Tree species profiles from Sentinel-2 time series
We obtained tree species-specific Sentinel-2 time series for the years 2019 and 2020. The Sentinel-2 time series originated from here, and the tree species information was derived from pure plots of the Swiss National Forest Inventory, spread all over Switzerland.
In addition to the 10 and 20 m bands from Sentinel-2 (Blue, Green, Red, Red-Edge-1, Red-Edge-2, Red-Edge-3, NIR, SWIR-1, SWIR-2), we calculated indices (CCI, CIre, EVI, NDMI/NDWI, NDVI).
In total, tree species profiles of 763 pixels for 2020 and 562 pixels for 2019 are available for seven tree species (Abies alba, Castanea sativa, Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus excelsior, Larix spp., Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris).
