A century of National Forest Inventory in Norway – informing past, present, and future decisions [PDF]

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2020
Past In the early twentieth century, forestry was one of the most important sectors in Norway and an agitated discussion about the perceived decline of forest resources due to over-exploitation was ongoing.

Mapping forest age using National Forest Inventory, airborne laser scanning, and Sentinel-2 data [PDF]

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2020
Background The age of forest stands is critical information for forest management and conservation, for example for growth modelling, timing of management activities and harvesting, or decisions about protection areas.

Use of Remote Sensing Data to Improve the Efficiency of National Forest Inventories: A Case Study from the United States National Forest Inventory

open access: yesForests, 2020
Globally, forests are a crucial natural resource, and their sound management is critical for human and ecosystem health and well-being. Efforts to manage forests depend upon reliable data on the status of and trends in forest resources.

Modelling the vertical distribution of canopy fuel load using national forest inventory and low-density airbone laser scanning data. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2017
The fuel complex variables canopy bulk density and canopy base height are often used to predict crown fire initiation and spread. Direct measurement of these variables is impractical, and they are usually estimated indirectly by modelling.

Assessing the Carbon Storage of Soil and Litter from National Forest Inventory Data in South Korea

open access: yesForests, 2020
Research Highlights: The estimation of soil and litter carbon stocks by the Land Use, Land-Use Changes, and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors has the potential to improve reports on national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories.

Wall-to-wall spatial prediction of growing stock volume based on Italian National Forest Inventory plots and remotely sensed data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2020
Spatial predictions of forest variables are required for supporting modern national and sub-national forest planning strategies, especially in the framework of a climate change scenario. Nowadays methods for constructing wall-to-wall maps and calculating

Forest inventory and analysis data in action: Examples from eastern national forests

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2022
While many forestry practitioners and ecologists have a general understanding of the USDA Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program and the type of data collected, most non-expert users of FIA reports and basic data are unlikely to be ...

Integration of National Forest Inventory and Nationwide Airborne Laser Scanning Data to Improve Forest Yield Predictions in North-Western Spain

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The prediction of growing stock volume is one of the commonest applications of remote sensing to support the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. In this study, we used data from the 4th Spanish National Forest Inventory (SNFI-4) and from the 1st

Advances in Brazil's National Forest Inventory [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Ideas and Outcomes
Brazil's National Forest Inventory (IFN), coordinated by the Brazilian Forest Service (SFB), provides essential data on the country's forest resources. The availability of IFN data, collected over more than a decade, through the National Forest
