PRECISION FORESTRY (PRECFOR) NEW TOOLS FOR FORESTRY DECISION MAKING

The research interests of the PrecFOR group focus on the use and development of new technologies for carrying out forest inventories, the development of forest ecosystem models, optimisation methods and systems to support decision-making. This includes the development of innovative methods and tools (e.g. simulators, systems to support decision-making) that can address the complexity of multi-objective landscape planning and biodiversity conservation planning within the context of climate change and other risks (e.g. forest fires). The ultimate aim is to develop scientifically sound methods that can be used by public administrations, forest owners, industry and non-governmental organisations to improve the integration of adaptive strategies in landscape management planning and to improve existing policies.
