Keywords:
Notes: This research aimed to (i) spatially detect the symptoms of defoliation on stone pines infested by PTS in an extensive protected area, (ii) evaluate how the prevailing winds had affected the spread pattern of the pest since its onset, and (iii) assess the potential of using PRISMA hyperspectral imaging to detect pest outbreaks in an urban forest in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. https://doi.org/10.3390/land14030630
