## Summary

Maps agro-pastoral abandonment and successional velocity at cadastral resolution from 2018–2024 Sentinel-2 imagery. Applied to the Monti Prenestini with 85.8% overall accuracy (κ = 0.82), it produces a ranked cadastral database.

## Work

Conference paper by Gabriele Pizzi, published on 1 July 2026 by the University of Zagreb – Faculty of Geodesy for the International Conference of Environmental Remote Sensing and GIS (ICERS 2026).

A Google Earth Engine method that maps abandonment status and successional velocity at cadastral resolution from Sentinel-2 imagery, 2018–2024. Applied to the Monti Prenestini, it reaches 85.8% overall accuracy (κ = 0.82) and produces a ranked cadastral database. The presentation at the conference has its own record.
