New paper out in RSE! 🌳🛩We explore how to derive #CWSI from forest canopies using high-resolution #thermal imagery, with Mediterranean holm oak as a case study for monitoring water stress and oak decline under drought conditions doi.org/10.1016/j.rs... cc @iascsic.bsky.social @unimelb.edu.au @uco.es

Violin plots showing the temporal variation of CWSI in holm oak stands in Huelva and Córdoba between 2012 and 2024, alongside the four-week precipitation to evapotranspiration ratio

Scatter plot showing the relationship between canopy–air temperature difference and vapour pressure deficit in holm oak, used to derive a non-water-stressed baseline for calculating CWSI

Thermal mosaics, tree-level CWSI segmentation and interpolated CWSI maps for Mediterranean holm oak stands in Huelva and Córdoba, showing spatial patterns of canopy temperature and water stress

Great discussions yesterday at #EARSeL2026 on bridging the gap between 1D and 3D vegetation modelling. I presented SILVO, a lightweight 3D illumination model designed to explicitly represent canopy heterogeneity. Thanks to everyone for the insightful feedback. 🌳🛰️ @iascsic.bsky.social @uco.es

Very happy to have shared our work on the early detection of Quercus forest decline 🌳 at #EARSeL 2026 today. #Hyperspectral traits, thermal imagery (w/ #CWSI) helped us track early physiological stress before damage becomes visible #RemoteSensing #ForestDecline cc @iascsic.bsky.social @uco.es
