Traunstein forest

Forest height map of southern Germany’s Traunstein forest, computed from Pol-InSAR data in 2003 (left) and 2008 (right). Changes between the two years are evident. The green box marks where the logging of individual tall trees occurred due to a change in forest management, while the orange box highlights the damage caused in January 2007 by the hurricane Kyrill, which blew down large parts of the forest. The white circle shows an area of forest growth.
