Urban forests are particularly significant as they enhance quality of life by fostering social connections and improving physical and mental health. They also reduce pollution, lower heating and cooling costs, increase real estate values, and help mitigate climate changes. Effective management and maintenance of urban forests are crucial to ensure these benefits continue.Consequently, the management of urban green areas is even more important, increasingly subjected to external pressure, yet they represent the few remaining comfortable areas in the city and guarantee the maintenance of urban biodiversity.There are numerous potential disturbances that can jeopardise the existence of urban green areas. This study focuses on the urban area of the city of Rome, where the Pinus pinea population is attacked by the scale insect Toumeyella parvicornis, which is undermining its existence. This research studies PlanetScope images from 2019 to 2023 with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of remote sensing in studying this phenomenon..
