Recent Advancements in High Resolution Remote Sensing for Precision Forestry

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in remote sensing technology have enabled data collection at much higher resolutions spatially and temporally from airborne and spaceborne as well as passive and active sensors. The new data sources provide opportunities for practical implementation of precision forestry, particularly for data-based decision making in forestry planning and forest management. This special issue aims to include the recent findings of cutting-edge research on the application of high resolution remote sensing in precision forestry. In particular, automated data analysis that can be performed by foresters and forest researchers has a high priority for this special issue.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Remote Sensing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Drones is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
