Large-Scale Geospatial Intelligence and Enterprise Forest Asset Monitoring

Precision Forestry’s Problem: Monitoring Forest Assets at Scale

Because of the economic need to use available forest resources to the fullest, precision forestry professionals must constantly monitor changes in forest condition and volume. Ill-informed decisions can lead to billions in losses from supply chain disruption and inefficient use of resources.

• Frequency: Traditional data collection in the field leads to infrequent access to data needed to support decisions.
• Reliability: Sample-based data collection creates a risk of inaccurate data by neglecting within-stand variation.
• Timeliness: Changing climatic conditions increase the vulnerability of forests to disturbances, threatening productivity and resource availability.
