The R Package forestinventory: Design-Based Global and Small Area Estimations for Multiphase Forest Inventories

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2021
Forest inventories provide reliable evidence-based information to assess the state and development of forests over time. They typically consist of a random sample of plot locations in the forest that are assessed individually by field crews.

Dynamic growth model for oak stands in Moscow, Russia [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The most objective information about the state of Moscow’s forests is provided by long-term observation data on permanent trial plots. Such data makes it possible to identify changes in forest stands under the influence of recreationists, environmental ...

National Forest Inventory Contributions to Forest Biodiversity Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yesForest Science, 2012
Forests are the most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystems. National forest inventories (NFIs) are the main source of information on the status and trends of forests, but they have traditionally been designed to assess land coverage and the production value of forests rather than forest biodiversity.

Photo Ecometrics for Forest Inventory

open access: yesAnnals of GIS, 1999
Abstract In this paper, we report the results obtained from the application of digital photogrammetry and hyperspectral data analysis for forest inventory purposes. Our long term goal is to provide low-cost yet accurate estimates of as many important forest biophysical parameters as can be measured and inferred with airborne digital cameras. Accuracies
