Forest inventory and management requirements are changing rapidly in the context of an
increasingly complex set of economic, environmental, and social policy objectives …

Individual mangrove tree parameters are necessary for the efficient management and
protection of this unique ecosystem, but to measure them using remote sensing (RS) is still a …

The Nordic countries have long traditions in forest inventory and remote sensing (RS). In
sample-based national forest inventories (NFIs), utilization of aerial photographs started …

Unmanned aerial vehicle laser scanning (UAVLS) systems present a relatively new means
of remote sensing and are increasingly applied in the field of forest ecology and …

Large tropical trees store significant amounts of carbon in woody components and their
distribution plays an important role in forest carbon stocks and dynamics. Here, we explore …

In airborne laser scanning (ALS)-based forest inventories, there is commonly a discrepancy
between the plot shape used for model fitting (typically circular) and the shape of population …

Abstract In an Area Based Approach (ABA) to forest inventories using Airborne Laser
Scanning (ALS) data, the sample plot size may vary or the cell size may differ from the plot …

This paper presents a 3D delineation method for airborne laser scanning point cloud. The
method is based on an unsupervised clustering technique applied on horizontal slices …

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is considered as the most accurate remote sensing data for
the predictive modelling of AGB. However, tropical landscapes experiencing land use …

Highly accurate and extensive datasets are needed for the practical implementation of
precision forestry as a method of forest ecosystem management. Proper processing of huge …
