Tree-LiMS: a dataset of multi-temporal UAV LiDAR and multispectral data at single-tree level in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests of the Alpe di Catenaia, Italy

Data paper

Key message 

This dataset offers high-resolution multi-temporal data on European beech tree dynamics, collected through UAV LiDAR and multispectral sensors at Alpe di Catenaia, Central Italy. It tracks architectural and phenological changes under different forest management regimes, providing valuable insights for ecological research and forest management.
