Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forests, as one of the essential elements of a terrestrial ecosystem, have a crucial role in terms of regulating fluxes and stores of carbon and water, contributing to biodiversity conservation, and regulating the global climate system. Sustainable forest management plays a vital role in social and economic development, as well as ecology and conservation. The Special Issue is dedicated to reporting forest growth and yield modelling, forest resource assessment and monitoring, and forest management-related methods for enhancing the knowledge pertaining to sustainable forestry. Well-prepared submissions that cover one or more of the following topics in the scope of sustainable forest management are very welcome:
(1) Development of forest growth model systems.
(2) Advanced forest mapping and monitoring methods using new measurement techniques.
(3) Forest management planning in the context of climate change.
(4) Accurate and precise estimation of forest yield, biomass and carbon storage.
