Context : why phenology may be useful ?Phenology
- annual cycle of the vegetation
- Different behaviours according to tree species
Taking phenology into account may :
- enhance tree species recognition
- and thus enable faster and cheaper updates for the current forest map of France

State of the artTree species classification from image time series (SITS)Old question but only few works because of lack of dense SITS
- Elatawneh et al. (2013), Rapideye, 7 species (3 deciduous and 4 coniferous) : OA 86%
- Sheeren et al. (2015), Formosat-2, 13 species classification in South West of France : kappa 92 %
- Clark et al. (2018) , Landsat, 16 species classification in California⁴ : kappa 67 %
Use of SITS to analyze phenologyHigh potential but most of the studies are based on MODIS (or Landsat)
- Fisher & Mustard (2007) : Landsat and Modis, r² = 0.60
- Liang et al. (2010) : identify phenology with less than 2 days error with MODIS

Due to increased information on phenology, dense series of
multitemporal, multispectral Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 data can
serve as a good basis for the mapping of forest composition at
national scales, considering major tree species typically
occurring in temperate and boreal ecosystems.

Research questions
- What is the consistency between the phenology observed in-situ and the one observed from S2 time series ?
- Is spectral and temporal reflectance of S2 strong enough to identify species?

Conclusion… and beyondClassification :
- Importance of the spatial cross-validation method- Spatial autocorrelation can really overestimate quality (because of sampling bias)
- Better results and comprehension of mistakes with Hierarchical Classification
Phenology :
- Need to finish year 2018… with less clouds please !
- Need to study substory vegetation effect (e.g. in identification of SOS/EOS)
