The overall aim of this study was to evaluate the use of seasonal time-series Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) satellite imagery in estimating forest stand parameters in a heterogeneous Mediterranean environment. Within this framework, the random forest regression algorithm was used to model the relationship between spectral information and tree density, basal area, and wood volume, based on single-date, single-season (dry, wet), and multi-temporal (May-December) imagery. The variable importance (VIMP) measure and the minimal depth (MD) order statistic were also investigated with regard to improved prediction accuracy and the identification of relevant variables. In general, the multi-temporal and dry-season models were more accurate than the single-date models. The models resulting from the MD variable selection from the dry season imagery were the most accurate with a coefficient of determination of up to 0.54 for tree density, 0.72 for basal area, and 0.68 for volume.
