Abstract :
Evaluates the use of multi-scale sampling frameworks for improved forest and woodland inventory. The representative sampling strategy integrating field and remotely sensed data provided more detailed information than is currently available, allowing improved understanding of forest and woodland composition and structure, and improved biomass estimations.
