A Simulation of Image-Assisted Forest Monitoring for National Inventories
The efficiency of national forest monitoring efforts can be increased by the judicious incorporation of ancillary data. For instance, a fixed number of ground plots might be used to inform a larger set of annual estimates by observing a smaller proportion of the plots each year while augmenting each annual estimate with ancillary data in order to reduce overall costs while maintaining a desired...
متن کاملEvaluation of Image-Assisted Forest Monitoring: A Simulation
Fiscal uncertainties can sometimes affect national continuous forest monitoring efforts. One solution of interest is to lengthen the time it takes to collect a “full set” of plot data from five to 10 years in order to reduce costs. Here, we investigate using ancillary information to partially offset this proposed solution’s negative effects. We focus our discussion on the corresponding number o...
متن کاملRemote Sensing supporting national forest inventories NFA
This chapter deals with the integration of remote sensing data for national forest inventories. It will give a basic understanding of how remote sensing can be integrated in national forest inventories (NFA) and what aspects are important. It will give an overview of different remote sensing systems, data types, the advantages and disadvantages as well as future developments. Remote sensing dat...
متن کاملSpatially explicit analysis of field inventories for national forest carbon monitoring
BACKGROUND Tropical forests provide a crucial carbon sink for a sizable portion of annual global CO2 emissions. Policies that incentivize tropical forest conservation by monetizing forest carbon ultimately depend on accurate estimates of national carbon stocks, which are often based on field inventory sampling. As an exercise to understand the limitations of field inventory sampling, we tested ...
متن کاملa study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns
attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
