Estimation of Forest Growing Stock Volume with UAV Laser Scanning Data: Can It Be Done without Field Data?

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Laser scanning data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV-LS) offer new opportunities to estimate forest growing stock volume ( V ) exclusively based on the UAV-LS data.

Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950's, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980.

Site classification vs. wood production: a case study based on Silver fir growth dynamics in the Western Carpathians

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2011
We analysed wood production on an example of Silver fir growth ability within site units defined in the site classification that is currently used in the Western Carpathians.

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.

Using Landsat Time-Series and LiDAR to Inform Aboveground Forest Biomass Baselines in Northern Minnesota, USA

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2017
The publicly accessible archive of Landsat imagery and increasing regional-scale LiDAR acquisitions offer an opportunity to periodically estimate aboveground forest biomass (AGB) from 1990 to the present to align with the reporting needs of National ...
