During the last 10 – 15 years there has been growing interest towards the use of forest biomass for energy purposes. Continue reading
Assessing the accuracy of regional LiDAR-based biomass estimation using a simulation approach
To meet the increasing need for reliable and timely timber resources and carbon stock estimates at intermediate and local decision levels, a sampling approach using airborne laser scanning (ALS) as a strip sampling tool has been proposed as a supplement to the conventional field-based National Forest Inventory system.
