Description
Ziyi You and co-authors present a study the catalog lists under 2026. Pine wilt disease kills pine trees fast. Early spotting before the crown fades guides field checks and tree removal. Trees fade at unlike times, so calendar-based scans blur early signals. The team flew drones weekly over two Masson pine sites. Each tree's data were aligned to its own first fading date.
Spectral bands and plant indices were tracked from eight weeks to one week before fading. Healthy trees set a normal range for each week. Several indices split from normal about seven weeks before visible fading. Forest teams get a pre-visual warning window of real length. A week or more of lead time can decide whether an outbreak is contained. The onset-aligned trick is portable to other tree diseases with uneven timing.
