In France, the country with the largest area planted with poplar in Europe, accurate and up-to-date maps of its spatial distribution are not available at the national scale. This makes it difficult to estimate the extent and location of the poplar resource and calls for the development of a robust and timely stable approach for mapping large areas in order to ensure efficient monitoring. In this study, we investigate the potential of the Sentinel-2 time series to map the diversity of poplar plantations at the French countrywide scale. By comparing multiple configurations of spectral features based on spectral bands and indices over two years (2017 and 2018), we identify the optimal spectral regions with their respective time periods to distinguish poplar plantations from other deciduous species. We also define a novel poplar detection index (PI) with four variants that combine the best discriminative spectral bands. The results highlight the relevance of SWIR followed by red edge regions, mainly in the growing season, to accurately detect poplar plantations, reflecting the sensitivity of poplar trees to water content throughout their phenological cycle. The best performances with stable results were obtained with the PI2 poplar index combining the B5, B11, and B12 spectral bands. The PI2 index was validated over two years with an average producer\u2019s accuracy of 92% in 2017 and 95% in 2018. This new index was used to produce the national map of poplar plantations in 2018. This study provides an operational approach for monitoring the poplar resource over large areas for forest managers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14163975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]],"date-time":"2022-08-17T03:15:27Z","timestamp":1660706127000},"page":"3975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Sentinel-2 Poplar Index for Operational Mapping of Poplar Plantations over Large Areas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2384-3196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yousra","family":"Hamrouni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toulouse, INRAE, UMR DYNAFOR, 31320 Castanet-Tolosan, France"},{"name":"Conseil National du Peuplier, 75116 Paris, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3120-4746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"Paillassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre National de la Propri\u00e9t\u00e9 Foresti\u00e8re, Institut pour le D\u00e9veloppement Forestier, 33075 Bordeaux, France"}]},{"given":"V\u00e9ronique","family":"Ch\u00e9ret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toulouse, INRAE, UMR DYNAFOR, 31320 Castanet-Tolosan, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2521-0472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claude","family":"Monteil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toulouse, INRAE, UMR DYNAFOR, 31320 Castanet-Tolosan, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8016-5355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Sheeren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toulouse, INRAE, UMR DYNAFOR, 31320 Castanet-Tolosan, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1038\/519407a","article-title":"Sustainability: Five steps for managing Europe\u2019s forests","volume":"519","author":"Fares","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"FAO (2020).
