Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled “Remote Sensing and Smart Forestry II” welcomes papers dealing with smart forestry construction and presents the scientific research achievements of remote sensing applications in the field of forestry in a concentrated way.
Forests are the basis of human survival and development, and rapid and accurate acquisition of forest change information is of great significance for the sustainable development of ecological environment. Remote sensing plays a big role in studying and providing management decision support mainly including: forest resources survey, forest fire monitoring, forest pests and diseases monitoring, and forest resources dynamic monitoring.
The vertical structure of forest ecosystem and the rough terrain under the forest canopy are very complex, which presents a great challenge to the existing remote sensing monitoring technology. The improvement of spatial resolution and spectral resolution of remote sensing technology, as well as the development of radar remote sensing, aerial remote sensing and UAV remote sensing, which provide rich information sources for forestry remote sensing and broaden the applications of forestry remote sensing.
Special attention will be paid to the application of remote sensing-based smart forests, and this Special Issue aims to do just that. The papers will be reviewed and selected by the academic committee and recommended for publication in Remote Sensing. We kindly invite experts and scholars in related fields to contribute novel and original research to enrich our research community.
