Multi-objective value of information assessment using stochastic programming: addressing uncertainty in site index determination
Olha Nahorna and others
Assessing the value of information (VoI) plays a critical role in determining the usefulness of data for informed decision-making. The evaluation of VoI should reflect the specific forest planning ...
What makes a forest growth model climate-sensitive? An examination of statistical and silvicultural model needs under climate change
Liam W Gilson and others
Literature around climate change adaptation in forestry has repeatedly called for climate-sensitive growth and yield models. We suggest that these ‘climate-sensitive’ models should have particular ...
Effect of the interaction between user experience and hypsometer type on the uncertainty of ground-based tree height measurement
Bogdan Wertz and others
The ground-based measurement of tree height is a basic routine to collect data for estimating volume, biomass and carbon content in forest ecosystems. It can be assumed that user experience and the ...
Pathogen impacts and implications for species diversification in UK forestry
Liam Morton and others
With global productive forestry subject to the pressures of climate change and pest/pathogen damage, there is considerable industry focus on building resilience into commercial plantations. ...
Fire spread prediction models for surface fuels in subtropical forests of southern China
Junjie Xu and others
Subtropical forest fires are characterized by relatively small fire areas and high frequency of occurrence, with surface fires being the primary mode of forest fires spread. There is limited research ...

Remote sensing in forestry: current challenges, considerations and directions
Fabian Ewald Fassnacht and others
Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level of uptake of remote sensing technologies into operational forest inventory and monitoring programs varies notably by geographic region. Herein, ...
Expansion of treed area over Canada’s forested ecosystems: spatial and temporal trends
Txomin Hermosilla and others
Monitoring changes in forest cover is critical to understanding forest dynamics and informing sustainable forest management practices. Both Canada’s National Forest Inventory and satellite-based monitoring programs have consistently reported an increasing trend in treed area over recent decades, despite differences in ...
3DFin: a software for automated 3D forest inventories from terrestrial point clouds
Diego Laino and others
Accurate and efficient forest inventories are essential for effective forest management and conservation. The advent of ground-based remote sensing has revolutionized the data acquisition process, enabling detailed and precise 3D measurements of forested areas. Several algorithms and methods have been developed in the last ...
Managing harvesting residues: a systematic review of management treatments around the world
Alberto Udali and others
Dead woody materials are naturally part of the forest ecosystem introduced through the process of tree mortality or intentionally through stand management practices which result in harvesting residues. The management of harvesting residues includes a range of solutions that vary from site to site, from context to context. ...
A horizon scan of issues affecting UK forest management within 50 years
Eleanor R Tew and others
Forests are in the spotlight: they are expected to play a pivotal role in our response to society’s greatest challenges, such as the climate and biodiversity crises. Yet, the forests themselves, and the sector that manages them, face a range of interrelated threats and opportunities. Many of these are well understood, even ...
