Methane Emissions in Boreal Forest Fire Regions: Assessment of Five Biomass-Burning Emission Inventories Based on Carbon Sensing Satellites

Remote Sensing, 2023
Greenhouse gases such as CH4 generated by forest fires have a significant impact on atmospheric methane concentrations and terrestrial vegetation methane budgets. Verification in conjunction with “top-down” satellite remote sensing observation has become

Improving availability and utilization of forest inventory and land use map data using Linked Open Data

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionModern forestry increasingly relies on the management of large datasets, such as forest inventories and land cover maps. Governments are typically in charge of publishing these datasets, but they typically employ disparate data formats ...

Statistical inferential techniques for approaching forest mapping. A review of methods

Annals of Silvicultural Research, 2018
The increasing availability of remote sensing data at no or low costs can be used as ancillary data in order to spatialize and improve the estimation of forest attributes and without increasing the sampling effort and costs.

Assessing Forest Production Using Terrestrial Monitoring Data

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2012
Accurate assessments of forest biomass are becoming an increasingly important aspect of natural resource management. Besides their use in sustainable resource usage decisions, a growing focus on the carbon sequestration potential of forests means that ...

Deadwood in Italian forests according to National Forest Inventory results

Forest@, 2009
Deadwood plays a key role in the functioning and productivity of forest ecosystem and it is an important feature for assessing and monitoring biodiversity. The third Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE) has recognized the

An approach to estimate carbon stocks change in forest carbon pools under the UNFCCC: the Italian case

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2008
Under the UNFCCC, Annex I Parties must report annually a National GHG Inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks. LULUCF is one of the six sectors of the inventory: in this sector any emissions and removals of GHGs by land ...

Mapping tree diversity in the tropical forest region of Chocó-Colombia

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Understanding spatial patterns of diversity in tropical forests is indispensable for their sustainable use and conservation. Recent studies have reported relationships between forest structure and α -diversity. While tree α -diversity is difficult to map
