After the final dispositions on all submissions to a special issue are made and accepted articles published, a virtual special issue will be published on this page.

Call open 1 July through 31 December 2024: Complex remote sensing-assisted forest surveys

Participants of the technical session T5.8 “Developments in complex remote sensing-assisted forest surveys to support monitoring and assessment of forest ecosystems” at the IUFRO World Congress Stockholm, Sweden in June 2024 may submit a manuscript based on their talk in the meeting. The special issue and technical session are organised by the IUFRO Working Group 04.02.00 - Forest resources inventory and monitoring.

The session is focused on mobilizing research and technology to develop credible, easy-to-understand, and user-friendly knowledge systems and platforms that can help researchers and practitioners conduct broad-scale forest inventories. It is distinctively conceived to give participants hands-on experience with remote sensing-assisted forest inventory applications for monitoring and assessing forest ecosystems on a large scale.

Subject Editor responsible:
Svetlana Saarela, Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway

The Special Issue’s Guest Editors:
Gherardo Chirici, Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI), University of Florence, Italy
Piermaria Corona, CREA Research Centre for Forestry and Wood, Italy

Manuscripts for a research article, research note or a review article will be accepted for peer-review. All submissions must comply with the data and code openness policy of Silva Fennica i.e., the metadata of the research data must be unconditionally open. As a general rule, research data and computational codes must be open and all exceptions must be agreed with the Editor-in-Chief or the Managing Editor of Silva Fennica.
