Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of
forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level …

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 …

Detailed maps of forest structure attributes are crucial for sustainable forest management,
conservation, and forest ecosystem science at the landscape level. Map** the structure of …

Wood resources have been essential for human welfare throughout history. Also nowadays,
the volume of growing stock (GS) is considered one of the most important forest attributes …

This paper focuses on the use of models for increasing the precision of estimators in large-
area forest surveys. It is motivated by the increasing availability of remotely sensed data …

Remote sensing (RS) studies aiming at map** forest biomass typically rely on ground-
based estimates of biomass for calibration or validation. Whatever the biophysical variable …

Despite the popularity of random forests (RF) as a prediction algorithm, methods for
constructing confidence intervals for population means using this technique are still only …

Background The increasing availability of remotely sensed data has recently challenged the
traditional way of performing forest inventories, and induced an interest in model-based …

Providing forest biomass estimates with desired accuracy and precision for small areas is a
key challenge to incorporating forest carbon offsets into commodity trading programs …

Recent developments in remote sensing (RS) technology have made several sources of
auxiliary data available to support forest inventories. Thus, a pertinent question is how …
