Remote Sensing Technology Applications in Forestry and REDD+

Remote sensing and GIS in forestry

Remote sensing and GIS are complementary technologies that, when combined, enable improved monitoring, mapping, and management of forest resources (Franklin 2001). The information that supports forest management is stored primarily in the form of forest inventory databases within a GIS environment. A forest inventory is a survey of the location, composition, and distribution of forest resources...

The use of remote sensing techniques in operational forestry

This is the second part of two articles dedicated to the use of computer-based tools in the analysis of spatial information for forest management. The aim of this article is to illustrate forest practitioners the business opportunities brought by remote sensing in terms of data capture and monitoring forest resources in Britain. Some of these technologies are already mature tools ready for busi...
