In recent years, portable laser scanning devices and their applications in the context of forest mensuration have undergone rapid methodological technological developments. Devices become smaller, lighter, more affordable, whereas new data-driven methods software packages facilitated derivation information from point clouds. Thus, terrestrial (TLS) is now well established, laser–object interact...

This book represents the first single volume in the English language dealing with procedures aimed at the accurate measuring of the female pelvis and the fetal head in utero. Because of the unreliability of the usual external pelvic measurements the obstetrical studies of recent years have tended to neglect this fundamental part of obstetrics. Indeed, until the advent of the Roentgen mensuratio...

Forest mensuration remains critical in managing our forests sustainably, however, capturing such measurements costly, time-consuming and provides minimal amounts of information as diameter at breast height (DBH), location, height. Plot scale remote sensing techniques show great promise extracting detailed forest rapidly cheaply, they have been held back from large-scale implementation due to th...

have been applied extensively to the quantification of forest carbon stocks and potential stock changes across a range of scales from stand to national levels. The principal objectives of this study are an evaluation of the completeness and robustness of the C-FLOW and CARBINE models for estimating carbon stocks and potential stock changes in the forestry sector at the stand and national levels...

The relevance of the study is related to need determine current state windbreaks as a component forest-agrarian landscape particular region. purpose conduct comprehensive assessment windbreaks. During study, data from remote sensing Earth using satellite imagery was utilised, which allowed for determining field parameters, placement windbreak system, and their characteristics. Forest inventory ...
