In this regard, remote sensing, especially with its recent advances in sensors and data processing methods, has emerged as a premier and useful observational and analytical tool. This study summarises recent remote sensing applications in urban forestry from the perspective of three distinctive themes: multi-source, multi-temporal and multi-scale inputs. It reviews how different sources of remotely sensed data offer a fast, replicable and scalable way to quantify urban forest dynamics at varying spatiotemporal scales on a case-by-case basis. Combined optical imagery and LiDAR data results as the most promising among multi-source inputs; in addition, future efforts should focus on enhancing data processing efficiency. For long-term multi-temporal inputs, in the event satellite imagery is the only available data source, future work should improve haze-\/cloud-removal techniques for enhancing image quality. Current attention given to multi-scale inputs remains limited; hence, future studies should be more aware of scale effects and cautiously draw conclusions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11101144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]],"date-time":"2019-05-14T10:42:33Z","timestamp":1557830553000},"page":"1144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Remote Sensing in Urban Forestry: Recent Applications and Future Directions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3361-8184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xun","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong SAR, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy Y.","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong SAR, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Sanesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, Via Amendola 165\/A, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4642-8435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raffaele","family":"Lafortezza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, Via Amendola 165\/A, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ufug.2017.05.005","article-title":"The social and economic value of cultural ecosystem services provided by urban forests in North America: A review and suggestions for future research","volume":"25","author":"Nesbitt","year":"2017","journal-title":"Urban For.
