The NSW Natural Resources Commission (NRC) engaged the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, Western Sydney University to develop a repeatable, scientifically robust and low-cost method to monitor landscape-scale forest canopy dieback and identify principal drivers of dieback. The Western Sydney University team collaborated with remote sensing research scientists from NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).\u00a0

\u00a0

The method was tested for forests impacted by the 2023 \u2018flash drought\u2019 in the mid-north coast region of NSW. High-resolution PlanetScope satellite imagery was used to manually classify canopy conditions into three categories: dead, partially dead, and live. This classification was then extended across the broader pilot study area using publicly available Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and a machine learning approach.\u00a0\u00a0

This web map displays the spatial outputs of this project at 10m spatial resolution, showing monthly canopy condition on public land for the period April 2019 to December 2023.\u00a0

\u00a0

The monthly spatial data for the pilot region is also available as 57 Tifs on the SEED portal for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).\u00a0

\u00a0

Reference layers provided include the 2019/20 Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (available on the SEED portal) and the last year of harvest in five-yearly groups (extracted from Forestry Corporation of NSW Open Data Site).\u00a0

To view a dataset, click on the eye icon. The entire layer group hierarchy must be turned on for the layers to be visible. You can navigate the map by scrolling and clicking using your mouse. You can use the \u2018Compare View\u2019 to see monthly canopy dieback maps and the 2019/20 Fire Extent and Severity Mapping map side by side, with a matching map extent.\u00a0
