The qualitative and quantitative descriptive models of tree architecture differ in the degree of complexity and the way of mapping tree structure, and thus, are of varied use in forestry. The qualitative, Hallé−Oldeman models, serve as a framework for analyzing tree architecture and help define the different components of a tree branching system. Among the quantitative models (here: horizontal, three−dimensional...
The purpose of this study was to present possibilities of using available Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) created by users of Flickr to monitor activity in the forest areas within the Warsaw agglomeration. The paper indicates which forest complexes (municipal or agglomeration) were most frequently visited as well as the dates of the greatest use of forest areas in daily, weekly and monthly...
The purpose of this study was to present the possibilities of using available Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) created by the users of OpenStreetMap program and sports applications such as GPies.com or Endomondo to monitor the traffic in the forest area. In addition, areas where, due to high traffic, potential conflicts between different user groups may occur, were marked out. The research...
In Polish forest management planning, the species composition of stands in a forest district is established by adding up the volumes of tree species from individual forest stands. These volumes are calculated according to the estimated share of species cover and the estimated volume of the entire forest stand. The species structure of stands in a forest district, established on the basis of such a...
Current forest growing stock inventory methods used in Poland are based on statistical methods using field measurements of trees on circular sample plots. Such measurements are carried out with traditional equipment, i.e. callipers and range finders. Nowadays, remote sensing based inventory techniques are becoming more popular and have already been applied in North America and some Scandinavian countries...
The review focuses on use of airborne hyperspectral imagery in forest species classification. Studies mentioned in the review concern hyperspectral image classification with use of various methods. Only research, where study area is located in Europe or North America were selected. Articles were reviewed with respect to used pre−processing methods, methods of feature selection or feature extraction,...
The mainstream of remotely sensed methodology for identifying the tree stand condition is based on spectral responses registered by a multispectral sensor as a digital image. The changes in spectral properties are caused by dying leaves, needles or whole trees. In further steps, the relationship between the spectral values (radiometry) registered in a multispectral satellite image and the health condition...
The aim of the research was to assess the accuracy of the stratified sampling method used to estimate the standing volume of a forest district and to compare it with the accuracy of simple random sampling methods. The paper presents the variability of the variables affecting the accuracy of the stratified sampling method. We attempted to find the ways to increase this accuracy. The research was based...
