DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2019-0412
Abstract: Models for prediction of site index (SI) typically include only abiotic causal variables (e.g. soil) and lack biotic response variables (e.g. vegetation), which could exhibit greater sensitivity to... read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14050933
Abstract: Intensive silviculture demands new inventory tools for better forest management and planning. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) was shown to be one of the best alternatives for high-precision inventories applied to productive plantations. The aim of… read more here.
