Pioneering Ecosystem Service Markets: A Game-Changer for Private Forest Owners

cooperation, publication, survey / By

Understanding the motivations and behaviors of private forest owners is paramount for crafting effective forest policies. Misguided policies can lead to inefficiencies, underscoring the need for precise targeting. The French NOBEL partner ‘INRAE‘, delves into this crucial realm in their recent publication titled “Probabilistic typology of private forest owners: A tool to target the development …

A framework for an RS-based forest ecological base map- Norway case study

publication / By

The main drivers of change in the forest ecosystems in Europe are forest activities. Change detection using a long time series of optical satellite imagery with relatively high resolution enables annual detection of changes with high accuracy.Therefore, in order to provide fine spatial resolution information and support the calculation of statistically rigorous estimates about the …

Forest Change Dynamics

publication / By

In Europe, the change in forest cover caused by felling activities, especially clear-cutting, is the most significant driver of forest ecosystem change. Monitoring the magnitude of harvest activities and their spatial and temporal distribution can provide essential change indicators of the pressure on forest ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing offers the means to assess and map …
