The comparison with previous studies that used ALS as a source of auxiliary information is therefore difficult, since the forest inventories using partial-coverage ALS auxiliaries were often conducted on much larger areas (i.e., regional inventories) where field samples were abundant (Gobakken et al.,Ene et al., b).

Thus, the current For small domains, we have a choice between design-consistent estimators that make the strongest possible use of auxiliary information and model-dependent design-biased alternatives such as the Scott CT () An evaluation of sampling with partial replacement.

Among the modern techniques that allow coupling ground-truth and RS derived Coarse woody debris (CWD) has been recognized as one of the strongest indicators of forest biodiversity and its assessment has been emphasized in the development of new inventory methods.

In this study, the most commonly referenced probability sampling methods were tested in a field area of ha to gain comparative information on their performance and :// provides communities, conservation groups and professionals a practical method for creating a natural resources inventory.

Asia (EECCA) can contribute towards maintaining the economic benefits of natural resources use in the long-term. The raising demands to establish institutions that reconcile economic and environmental objectives of natural resources use in a way that does not marginalise the poor was the starting point for developing this significance of NR in.

A new sampling strategy for forest inventories is presented. The most important difference to the traditional sampling strategies is that auxiliary variables from remote sensing are incorporated   The Natural Resources Working Group is a voluntary association of natural resource specialists from NGOs and government ministries that work collectively to support conservancies and improve natural resource management in Namibia.
