For our research we have access to different data sources, collected and maintained by the Institute of Silviculture or generously made available by partner organizations. These data sources are essential to further develop and validate our modeling tools and DSS, as well as in addressing demanded forest management information.
The main data sources for our research are:
- Forest growth data (long-term research trials, inventory plots)
- Biomass information
