Outlook for the Next Generation’s Precision Forestry in Finland
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the past decade in forest mapping and monitoring applications, the ability to acquire spatially accurate, 3D remote-sensing information by means of laser scanning, digital stereo imagery and radar imagery has been a major turning point. These 3D data sets that use singleor multi-temporal point clouds enable a wide range of applications when combined with other geoinformation and logging machine-measured data. New technologies enable precision forestry, which can be defined as a method to accurately determine characteristics of forests and treatments at stand, sub-stand or individual tree level. In precision forestry, even individual tree-level assessments can be used for simulation and optimization models of the forest management decision support system. At the moment, the forest industry in Finland is looking forward to next generation’s forest inventory techniques to improve the current wood procurement practices. Our vision is that in the future, the data solution for detailed forest management and wood procurement will be to use multi-source and -sensor information. In this communication, we review our recent findings and describe our future vision in precision forestry research in Finland. OPEN ACCESS Forests 2014, 5 1683

Potential Trade-Offs Between Nature-Based Tourism and Forestry, a Case Study in Northern Finland
Forestry, as a large industry, has significant impacts on the quality of nature-based tourism landscapes in boreal forests. In Finland, the rapid growth of nature-based tourism has expanded outdoor recreation activities from protected areas into timber production forests; this is particularly so in northern Finland. This paper focuses on assessing balanced local net impacts of three alternative...
متن کاملNon-parametric Bayesian estimation for multitype branching processes through simulation-based methods
The problem of statistical inference from a Bayesian outlook is studied for the multitype Galton–Watson branching process, considering a non-parametric framework. The only data assumed to be available are each generation’s population size vectors. The Gibbs sampler is used in estimating the posterior distributions of the main parameters of the model, and the predictive distributions for as yet ...
متن کاملWorld Energy Outlook : a Comparative Study
Differen world energy outlook with different horizons (2035, 2040 and 2050) show that demand for primary energy will increase. The energymix in 2050 will mainly be fossil based although the share of theses fuels will decrease. Accorging to some forecasts, energy consumption will increase more than 50 percent during next 30 years which most of this growth belongs to non-OECD countries. In supply...
