This study enhances forest degradation detection by integrating Sentinel-2 time series analysis (TSA) using the Kalman filter/CUSUM approach in two Africa countries in support of the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR). Results show an OA of 83.5% and 69.3% resp. in contrast to an existing degradation product with an OA below 60% for both sites. The results highlight the potential of advanced Sentinel-2 TSA for detecting subtle forest changes, thus supporting effective monitoring under EUDR.
