Can satellites detect when forests lose resilience?

For years, scientists have been using a method called "temporal autocorrelation (TAC)" to measure forest resilience using satellite data. However, scientists have not used TAC uniformly, and its use as a resilience indicator was based largely on theories and assumptions rather than direct evidence from observations on the ground.
