Abstract :
One of the forest environmental monitoring projects of the European Space Agency is implementing remote-sensing based services for national Kyoto Protocol reporting. Key players in this reporting for five European countries are actively involved. Their needs are mainly forest maps, land-use and land-use change maps. Prototypes are being implemented on twelve test sites before proceeding to a large-scale demonstration covering 500000 km2.
