Forest Inventory

Methodology and Applications

Herausgegeben: Kangas, Annika; Maltamo, Matti

Beschreibung

This book has been developed as a forest inventory textbook for students and could also serve as a handbook for practical foresters. We have set out to keep the mathematics in the book at a fairly non-technical level, and therefore, although we deal with many issues that include highly sophisticated methodology, we try to present first and foremost the ideas behind them. For foresters who need more details, references are given to more advanced scientific papers and books in the fields of statistics and biometrics. Forest inventory books deal mostly with sampling and measurement issues, as found here in section I, but since forest inventories in many countries involve much more than this, we have also included material on forestry applications. Most applications nowadays involve remote sensing technology of some sort, so that section II deals mostly with the use of remote sensing material for this purpose. Section III deals with national inventories carried out in different partsof world, and section IV is an attempt to outline some future possibilities of forest inventory methodologies.

Matti Maltamo Professor of Forest Mensuration, Faculty of Forestry, University of Joensuu. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book achieving its aim to serve as an academic textbook and as a practical manual ... . the mix of useful information and impediments in the book recommends it as textbook and brain-trainer to students at EU universities. It gives an interesting overview over the complexities, problems and impressive achievements of forest inventory in Finland and is a welcome mental fitness trainer for inquisitive, integrating, coordinating and logical thinking, which I rather enjoyed." (Eberhard F. Bruenig, International Forestry Review, Vol. 11 (4), 2009)
