Forest Inventory-based Projection Systems for Wood and Biomass Availability

  • Book
  • © 2017

Overview

  • Gives a unique overview of the projection systems available in a large range of countries (mainly focusing on European countries) and thus responds to the increasing need for information on forests and their capacity to deliver woody biomass
  • Descriptions of national - and European - level systems were prepared by the developers of the tools or by every-day users with deep knowledge on their functioning, thereby allowing the reader to gain a precise understanding of the purposes, functions, limitations and potential of each tool
  • Provides information on the intentions and future work in these countries to develop new or to improve existing tools

About this book

This book provides detailed descriptions of the forest biomass projection systems used in 22 countries in Europe and North America, as well as four European-wide systems. Separate chapters focus on the concepts of estimation of availability of woody biomass, compare and classify the different projection systems, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the further development of these systems.
