- Abstract:
- The paper deals with a multi-scale, multi-sensor remote sensing approach, based on the integration of satellite data and proximal imaging sensing technologies with the aim to support the management of historical and archaeological parks with a focus on: analysing the health and changes in the tree; assessing the biomechanical stability of monumental trees; identifying critical issues at the vegetation-monument interface areas. The Colosseum Park in Rome is one of the scenarios-laboratories selected. The obtained results are the following: (i) the integration between the diverse sensors, in a multi-scalar perspective, combined with the knowledge of the end user s needs and application goals, leads to an improvement in the operability of the technologies; (ii) the minimum monitoring unit, using Sentinel 2, is the single tree; (iii) removing seasonality helps to better discriminate between healthy and diseased trees; (iv) the best period to identify the effects of Toumeyella parvicornis is Spring (May-June).
