Forest Inventory Mapping

Forest Inventory Mapping is a geospatial methodology that systematically characterizes and delineates forest attributes—such as tree density, biomass, and canopy height—over large areas by integrating LiDAR-derived point cloud data with statistical or machine learning models to produce spatially explicit representations of forest structure and composition.
