Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to use remote sensing (RS) data to allow for a better mechanistical understanding of forest impairment and of the interrelation between extreme weather events, locally variable parameters, and bark beetle infestation. Furthermore, the use of the aforementioned data shall allow to assess whether the forest degradation is caused by weather extremes or bark beetle infestations. Moreover, spatiotemporal dispersal patterns of bark beele outh to be explained.
