FOREST INVENTORY

The forest inventory research group at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management (MINA), Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), develops methods to increase our knowledge of forests and forest-related resources. A high focus on the use of remote sensing technologies for forest inventory and mapping, especially the use of LiDAR has been important. INA has since 1995 been conducted research on the use of LiDAR for forest inventory at different spatial scales.
