Estimating aboveground biomass density using hybrid statistical inference with GEDI lidar data and Paraguay’s national forest inventory

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Forests are widely recognized as critical to combating climate change due to their ability to sequester and store carbon in the form of biomass. In recent years, the combined use of data from ground-based forest inventories and remotely sensed data from ...

Country-wide assessment of biodiversity, naturalness and old-growth status using national forest inventory data

European Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Assessing forest biodiversity, naturalness and old-growth status (B-N-OG) is crucial for supporting sustainable forest planning, yet comprehensive monitoring networks specifically designed for such purposes are lacking in many countries.

The relationship between forest structure and naturalness in the Finnish national forest inventory

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2023
There is considerable interest in identifying and locating natural forests as accurately as possible, because they are deemed essential in preventing biodiversity loss. In the boreal region, natural forests contain a substantial amount of dead wood and

Instance segmentation of individual tree crowns with YOLOv5: A comparison of approaches using the ForInstance benchmark LiDAR dataset

ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2023
Fine-grained information on the level of individual trees constitute key components for forest observation enabling forest management practices tackling the effects of climate change and the loss of biodiversity in forest ecosystems.

Large scale mapping of forest attributes using heterogeneous sets of airborne laser scanning and National Forest Inventory data

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background The Norwegian forest resource map (SR16) maps forest attributes by combining national forest inventory (NFI), airborne laser scanning (ALS) and other remotely sensed data. While the ALS data were acquired over a time interval of 10 years using

National Forest Inventory Contributions to Forest Biodiversity Monitoring [PDF]

Forest 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.

Above-ground biomass change estimation using national forest inventory data with Sentinel-2 and Landsat

, 2021
This study aimed at estimating total forest above-ground net change (ΔAGB; Gg) over five years (2014–2019) based on model-assisted estimation utilizing freely available satellite imagery. The study was conducted for a boreal forest area (approx. 1.4 Mha)

Measurement uncertainty in a national forest inventory: results from the Northern Region of the USA

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2022
Statistical confidence in estimates of timber volume, carbon storage, and other forest attributes depends, in part, on the uncertainty in field measurements.

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

Remote 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.

Making the US national forest inventory spatially contiguous and temporally consistent

, 2022
Signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are required to annually report economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals, including the forest sector.
