DOI: 10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2018.04.019
Abstract: Abstract Accurate assessments of forest resources rely on ground truth data that are collected via in-situ measurements, which are fundamental for all other statistical- and/or remote-sensing-based deductions on quantified forest attributes. The major bottleneck of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biab119
Abstract: Abstract Tree-ring time series provide long-term, annually resolved information on the growth of trees. When sampled in a systematic context, tree-ring data can be scaled to estimate the forest carbon capture and storage of landscapes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13487
Abstract: In a Europe shaped by centuries of forest management, the task of today's scientists in characterising, understanding and modelling natural forests is highly challenging. Although numerous forest reserves exist, most remain hardly comparable case studies.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2017-0095
Abstract: A new sampling strategy for forest inventories is presented. The most important difference from the traditional sampling strategies is that auxiliary variables from remote sensing are incorporated into the sampling design. The sample is selected… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f10010020
Abstract: Wood supply predictions from forest inventories involve two steps. First, it is predicted whether harvests occur on a plot in a given time period. Second, for plots on which harvests are predicted to occur, the… read more here.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Forest Inventories—Tree Diameter Distribution and Scanner Location Impact on Occlusion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Forests"
DOI: 10.3390/f8060184
Abstract: The rapid development of portable terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) devices in recent years has led to increased attention to their applicability for forest inventories, especially where direct measurements are very expensive or nearly impossible. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f9020077
Abstract: Forest growth and wood supply projections are increasingly used to estimate the future availability of woody biomass and the correlated effects on forests and climate. This research parameterizes an inventory-based business-as-usual wood supply scenario, with… read more here.
