Modern forestry practices are based on the idea of ‘big is beautiful’. Especially in regeneration phase, operations often excessive relation to profit that one can expect gain decades come. Excessive also constrain use ecosystem services. Lean a novel philosophy practise aims direct “big beautiful” modern silviculture more into “do cost effectively only what needed fulfil goals”. To succeed requires exact spatial information be able carry out measures very precisely where they really goals. This kind paradigm shift systems with new kinds abilities remotely sense surrounding environment and make better faster decisions sensed data.
