摘要

Considering the mounting impacts of human activities across vulnerable global ecosystems, this research uses the Vigor-Organization-Resilience-Services (VORS) model alongside with nine remote sensing-derived spatial indicators to assess the changes in forest health (2001–2023) in the Koreh-Rood basin in Iran. Results show that most of the basin had attained a moderate health level (mean score: 6.5/10) by 2023, with a net improvement of + 2.9 in most areas over the period of 23 years. Nonetheless, there were some localized declines (-0.6) to the east/northeastern sub-regions, which underline recovery heterogeneity. The validated model indicates that remote sensing integrated with VORS criteria offers a spatially validated model to assess forest ecosystems, making it easier to monitor forests over time while helping design effective management plans for endangered ecosystems.
