Beschreibung / Description
A data- and evidence-driven forest management for multiple purposes requires a solid data basis. Therefore, data handling is ubiquitous in forestry: it needs to be collected, managed and shared efficiently to leverage the great potential of digitalization in forest management. The aim is to collect data reliably, and share it in a standardized and trustworthy manner according to the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) by letting the data provider decide who can use the data.
Currently, one of the biggest opportunities in data usage are Close Range Remote Sensing (CRRS) technologies. CRRS technologies (e.g., terrestrial or airborne LiDAR, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or terrestrial structure from motion (SfM) workflows) have become essential tools in forestry, especially in the context of climate change. These remote sensing methods provide precise measurements of individual trees and their surroundings, are cost effective, and suitable for difficult terrain.
The use of data management and data sharing technologies, especially in combination, leads to solutions that can be subsumed under the term data ecosystem. We want to fill these terms with practical examples and stimulate theoretical planning games for the future of the forest-based sector.
This session will discuss current solutions and options for a comprehensive data ecosystem as well as research results and new approaches for quantitative forest characterization using CRRS methods. We especially value contributions that tackle multiple aspects of forest data collection, data management, and data sharing for applications. Please assign up to three of the following keywords to your contribution.
