Quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for informing decisions and policies that will protect the planet. Machine learning (ML) and remote sensing (RS) techniques have been used to do this task more effectively, yet there…

For many countries like Russia, Canada, or the USA, a robust and detailed tree species inventory is essential to manage their forests sustainably. Since one can not apply unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery-based approaches to large-scale…

We analyze the finite sample mean squared error (MSE) performance of regression trees and forests in the high dimensional regime with binary features, under a sparsity constraint. We prove that if only $r$ of the $d$ features are relevant…

In prediction of forest parameters with data from remote sensing (RS), regression models have traditionally been trained on a small sample of ground reference data. This paper proposes to impute this sample of true prediction targets with…

In this paper, we present a deforestation estimation method based on attention guided UNet architecture using Electro-Optical (EO) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery. For optical images, Landsat-8 and for SAR imagery,…

In the face of uncertain biological response to climate change and the many critiques concerning model complexity it is increasingly important to develop predictive mechanistic frameworks that capture the dominant features of ecological…

Access to highly detailed models of heterogeneous forests, spanning from the near surface to above the tree canopy at varying scales, is increasingly in demand. This enables advanced computational tools for analysis, planning, and ecosystem…

Airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) point clouds over large forested areas can be processed to segment individual trees and subsequently extract tree-level information. Existing segmentation procedures typically detect more than 90% of…

Taper equations are indispensable tools for characterizing the stem profile of trees, providing valuable insights for forest management, timber inventory, and optimal assortments allocation. The recent progress in Terrestrial Laser Scanning…

Cut-to-length harvesters collect useful information for modeling relationships between forest attributes and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. However, harvesters operate in mature forests, which may introduce selection biases that can…

Reliable localization is crucial for navigation in forests, where GPS is often degraded and LiDAR measurements are repetitive, occluded, and structurally complex. These conditions weaken the assumptions of traditional urban-centric…

Recognising individual trees within remotely sensed imagery has important applications in forest ecology and management. Several algorithms for tree delineation have been suggested, mostly based on locating local maxima or inverted basins…

Tree-ring growth represents the annual wood increment for a tree, and quantifying it allows researchers to assess which silvicultural practices are best suited for each species. Manual measurement of this growth is time-consuming and often…

A spatial distributional regression model is presented to predict the forest structural diversity in terms of the distributions of the stem diameter at breast height (DBH) in the protection forests in Ebensee, Austria. In total 36,338…

Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) can collect point clouds across large areas, enabling large-scale forest inventory. However, ALS point clouds are sparse and noisy, resulting in inaccurate individual-tree-level forest inventory, such as stem…

Accurate Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) mapping at both large scale and high spatio-temporal resolution is essential for applications ranging from climate modeling to biodiversity assessment, and sustainable supply chain monitoring. At present,…

We introduce a novel deep learning method for detection of individual trees in urban environments using high-resolution multispectral aerial imagery. We use a convolutional neural network to regress a confidence map indicating the locations…

Forest land plays a vital role in global climate, ecosystems, farming and human living environments. Therefore, forest biomass estimation methods are necessary to monitor changes in the forest structure and function, which are key data in…

Detailed forest inventories are critical for sustainable and flexible management of forest resources, to conserve various ecosystem services. Modern airborne laser scanners deliver high-density point clouds with great potential for…

Monitoring tree crop expansion is vital for zero-deforestation policies like the European Union's Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR). However, these efforts are hindered by a lack of highresolution data distinguishing diverse…
