Telesca, L., Abate, N., & Lasaponara, R. Permutation entropy and statistical complexity as diagnostic tools for pine scale infestation in multitemporal satellite Sentinel-2 data.

Keywords:

ecology

Notes: The complexity–entropy causality plane (CECP), a model-free information-theoretic framework based on permutation entropy H and statistical complexity C, is applied to Sentinel-2 multispectral time series (2017–2024) to discriminate pixels from a Pinus pinea stand infested by Toumeyella parvicornis — an invasive insect first detected in Italy in 2015 that has since caused severe damage to Mediterranean coastal pine forests — from those of a healthy reference forest.
