Abstract:
The fractional vegetation cover (FVC) data measured on the ground is the main source for the calibration and verification of FVC remote sensing inversion, and its accuracy directly affects the accuracy of remote sensing inversion results. However, the existing research on the evaluation of the accuracy of the field quadrat survey of FVC based on the satellite remote sensing pixel scale is inadequate, especially in the alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this paper, five different alpine grasslands were examined, the accuracy of the FVC obtained by the photography method was analy

Abstract:
Abstract Knowledge of the canopy structure is essential to improving our understanding of forest structure. While numerous sampling techniques have been developed to estimate attributes of the forest canopy, these require either additional measurements or a sampling design and measurement techniques that differ substantially from the ones that are used to estimate more traditional forest attributes, such as basal area, number of stems, or volume. The root of the problem is that the sample element for a design that estimates canopy attributes is the tree crown, whereas the sample element is the

Thin fixed-area plots result in forest canopy height constructs (i.e., canopy height models, or CHMs) which are shorter and less dense than the actual forest stand.

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of a study of the spatial structure of the distribution of epiphytes on the sample plot, and on the trunk of Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. The distribution of all trees and individual species on the sample plot, as well as most species of epiphytic mosses, does not differ from random. Only one species, namely Dicranum fuscescens Turner, which in this community grows only on the trunks of living trees, has an aggregated distribution, while all other epiphytic moss species are also found in the ground cover and their distribution in the communities is random.

The aim of the study was to develop a new method to use tree stem information recorded by harvesters along operative logging in remote sensing-based prediction of forest inventory attributes in mature stands. The reference sample plots were formed from harvester data, using two different tree positions: harvester positions (XYH) in global satellite navigation system and computationally improved harvester head positions (XYHH). Study materials consisted of 158 mature Norway-spruce-dominated stands located in Southern Finland that were clear-cut during 2015–16. Tree attributes were derived from

Measuring tree species diversity is critical for forest management, particularly where timber species suffer undue anthropogenic pressure. This study was carried out in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A sample plot was systematically chosen from randomly selected communities in each of the three senatorial districts Bayelsa West (BW), Bayelsa East (BE) and Bayelsa Central (BC) of the State. Each sample plots measured 25 m x 25 m and all timber tree species that were at least six feet above ground level within each sample plot were identified, counted and measured.

Abstract:
An overview of changes in the herb-shrub layer number of species on permanent sample plots established in the Kerzhensky Reserve after the wildfires of 2010 is provided. It is shown that the nature of the change in this indicator is influenced by both the type of fire and the shape of the mesorelief to which the permanent sample plot is confined. The presence of maxima and minima in the number of species was noted. The similarity in the type of changes in the number of species for areas with crown and intense ground fires is shown.

Abstract:
Forests play an important role in absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Broadleaf Forests absorb more carbon as compared to the Pine Forests. Quantification of carbon in any vegetation and soil type is a basic step for evaluating the carbon sequestration potential of an ecosystem. To quantify the vegetation and soil carbon stocks in Oak and Pine Forests, above and below-ground biomass of both forests were estimated using stratified random sampling. Individual trees in the sample plots of both forest types were measured. Above-ground biomass of trees and saplings were estimated by using differe

A plot of 1200 m2 was selected to represent the average epiphyte abundance of a moist subtropical broadleaved forest at Fushan in north-eastern Taiwan. In this plot, all epiphytes of 18 sample trees with dbh &gt; 5 cm were removed and weighed to estimate their biomass and nutrient content. We found that the biomass of epiphytes and their associated detrital matter in this plot was 3360 kg ha-1. The nutrient capital of the epiphytes (kg ha-1) was: N = 42.4, P = 1.9, Mg = 5.5, Na = 1.3, Ca = 14.5 and K = 28.9.

Diameter and other size distributions are extensively used in growth modelling. These are usually obtained from sample plot data and assumed to apply both at the stand level, of interest for production planning, and at the forest patch level, the level relevant for tree growth interactions. However, spatial correlation can cause distribution parameters and their estimates to vary with the extent of ground considered. Using mapped tree data from four forest stands in central Canada, it is shown that differences in DBH variance with plot size can be substantial. In addition, size correlations be

There is a vivid debate in cities all over the world on how to distribute the restricted space in urban areas among stakeholders. Urban design movements such as new pedestrianism or Copenhagenization advocate that too much space is attributed to cars. In this context, our research investigates the optimization of parking lots with the help of mathematical programming. For the given ground plot of a parking lot, we maximize the number of parking spaces each reachable via a driving lane, so that the urban space attributed to the parking of cars is efficiently used.

Rapidly advancing airborne laser scanning technology has become greatly useful to estimate tree- and stand-level variables at a large scale using high spatial resolution data. Compared with that of ground measurements, the accuracy of the inferred information of diameter at breast height (DBH) from a remotely sensed database and the models developed with traditional regression approaches (e.g., ordinary least square regression) may not be sufficient. Thus, this regression approach is no longer appropriate to develop accurate models and predict DBH from remotely sensed-related variables because
