Description

Precision forestry is an approach to forest management that leverages advanced technologies to enhance decision-making processes and optimize forest operations. LiDAR technologies enable detailed measurements of tree height, canopy density, stem diameter, and even understory vegetation, allowing for a more precise understanding of forest composition and health. By capturing data at a level of detail that traditional methods cannot achieve, LiDAR helps
forestry professionals monitor forest growth, assess biomass, and detect potential risks such as pest infestations or disease. By leveraging these innovative techniques, researchers can gain more precise insights into forest structure and dynamics. This will be the primary focus of the upcoming summer school, where participants will explore the latest advancements and applications of these remote sensing technologies in forest ecosystem analysis.
