Forest Canopy Cover Loss - Germany - Monthly, 10m Quicklook
Forest Canopy Cover Loss - Germany - Monthly, 10m Quicklook
This raster dataset shows forest canopy cover loss (FCCL) in Germany at a monthly resolution from September 2017 to October 2025. It is similar to the product developed in Thonfeld et al. (2022) but was fully reprocessed and updated to reveal the most recent forest disturbance dynamics (Thonfeld et al. 2026). The combination of Sentinel-2A/B and Landsat-8/9 data allows for a high temporal resolution while the pixel size of the product is 10 m. The results are clipped to the stocked area 2018 mapped by the Thünen-Institute (Langner et al. 2022, https://doi.org/10.3220/DATA20221205151218). The dataset contains predominantly larger canopy openings resulting from different drivers but also larger clusters of standing deadwood. FCCL can result from abiotic (e.g. wind, fire, drought, hail) drivers, biotic (e.g. insects, funghi) drivers or a combination of both as well as from sanitary and salvage logging and planned harvest.
