Forestry surveys: A hands-on guide to analyzing data

Forests, as complex ecosystems, require effective management to balance ecological needs and economic goals, with forest surveys playing a crucial role in this process. These surveys provide detailed information about tree species, topographic features, and land use, allowing managers to track changes over time for sustainable harvesting or conservation. Different types of surveys, such as forestry inventories, detection surveys, regeneration surveys, and urban forest inventories, offer insights into forest health, growth patterns, and resource management. Tools like Felt's cloud-native, AI-powered GIS platform and the Field App facilitate the visualization and collection of survey data, enabling real-time analysis and long-term planning. Collaboration between institutions, such as Northern Arizona University and Felt, showcases the practical benefits of using advanced technology to monitor plant stress, ultimately helping in wildfire prevention and sustainable forest management.
