Forest biomass assessment by LIDAR technology in degraded forests of hilly and lowland vegetation area in central Croatia

In order to enable monitoring of the sequestered and emitted carbon quantities as well as changes, both positive and negative, in the carbon pool size (sink), it is necessary to develop fast and simple methods that can be used to collect large amounts of data on vast areas in order to calculate these parameters. The aforementioned can be achieved by implementing LIDAR technology for the calculatio…
