The potential of remote sensing to aid in the forecast of insect defoliation and the associated impact on forest stands was tested by examining the relationships between 1. pre-outbreak forest structure and growth characteristics, 2. multispectral values recorded by the Landsat Mapper (TM) sensor and 3. subsequent patterns of defoliation and volume loss in the balsam fir (Abies balsamea L. Mill) forests of western Newfoundland.
