Monitoring clearcutting and subsequent rapid recovery in Mediterranean coppice forests with Landsat time series

This dataset considers information from clear-cut coppice forest occurred between 1999 and 2015 in three different area of Tuscany Region (Italy).  

The dataset consists in one shape file and two csv files.

The shape file contains in 2371 spatial polygons of clear-cut occurred in the three area between 1999 and 2015. The polygons were generated using visual interpretation of the Landsat Time Series and high resolution regional ortomosaic. Photo interpreters delineated the spatial extent of each clear-cut and recorded the year of harvest, adopting a minimum mapping unit of 0.1 hectares. The database associated with shape file report information related with area extent of clear-cut, year of clear-cut and the forest types that is associated with the clear-cut derived by the Tucant Regional Forest Inventory (RFI) data that give information on dominant species. 

The .csv files reported the temporal characteristic of clear-cut based on Landsat Time Series data and based on Airborne Laser Scanner (ALS) Canopy Height Model (CHM), in order to describe the temporal trend of clear-cut based on remote sensing data.
