The ability to use digital remotely sensed data for forest inventory is often limited by the
nature of the measures, which, with the exception of multi-angular or stereo observations …

Improved monitoring of forest biomass and biomass change is needed to quantify natural
and anthropogenic effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Landsat's temporal and spatial …

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 tools are increasingly being used to survey forest structure. Most current
methods rely on GPS signals, which are available in above-canopy surveys or in below …

Forest inventory attributes are an important source of information for a variety of strategic
and tactical forest management purposes. However, it is not possible or feasible for field …

The United Nations Collaborative Program on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and
Forest Degradation in Develo** Countries (UN REDD) was launched with the aim of …

Forests are an important global resource, playing key roles in both the environment and the
economy. The implementation of quality national monitoring programs is required for the …

Abstract Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Landsat data were evaluated
as auxiliary information with the intent to increase the precision of growing stock volume …

Airborne scanning LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has emerged as a promising tool to
provide auxiliary data for sample surveys aiming at estimation of above-ground tree biomass …
