This study aimed at estimating total forest above-ground net change (ΔAGB; Gg) over five years (2014–2019) based on model-assisted estimation utilizing freely available satellite imagery. The was conducted for a boreal area (approx. 1.4 Mha) in Norway where bi-temporal national inventory (NFI), Sentinel-2, and Landsat data were available. Biomass modelled direct approach. precision of estimates...

Climate-smart forestry (CSF) has gained increasing attention in recent years. Yet, a framework to assess the three pillars of CSF, terms mitigation and adaptation climate change ecosystem service (ES) provision based on national forest inventory (NFI) data is currently lacking. In this study, we present an assessment CSF indicators derived from NFI. To quantify defined 1) carbon stock, 2) using...

In the past years, several text-independent speaker recognition evaluation campaigns have taken place. This paper reports on results of the NIST evaluation of 2004 and the NFI-TNO forensic speaker recognition evaluation held in 2003, and reflects on the history of the evaluation campaigns. The effects of speech duration, training handsets, transmission type, and gender mix show expected behavio...

Accurate estimation of site productivity is essential for forest projections and scenario modelling. We present evaluate models to predict index (SI) whether a productive (potential total stem volume production ≥ 1 m 3 ·ha −1 ·year ) in wall-to-wall high-resolution (16 × 16 m) SI map Norway. investigate remotely sensed data improve predictions. also study the advantages disadvantages using boos...

Abstract Introduction Sexuality is complex and multifaceted, broadly composed of psychological, physiological, interpersonal, identity, social/political phenomena. The term “sexuality” used inconsistently in the literature, both how it defined by researchers measured. Some define sexuality a narrow, heteronormative, genital-focused way that negates subjective experiences individuals, turn, affe...
