Biometrics, Spatial Statistics and Forest Information Systems
Contact: Dr. B. Kenter

The European and international reporting needs harmonised and verifiable forest data. Among others, this includes issues on the potentials and dynamics of carbon sequestration in forests and timber. We develop methods to improve information on sustainable management of forest ecosystems by means of basic and applied research. |
It is focused on methodological contributions to improve the reliability and quality of effective and cost-efficient forest resources assessments. This covers the topics biometrics, sample based inventories, remote sensing, spatial statistics, forest information systems, and modelling.
The results support national and international forestry related political reporting, negotiation processes and the improvement of cost-efficiency of forest inventories.
