National Forest Inventories : pathways for common reporting

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed tree diameter increment models that are applicable at the European scale, but still locally accurate, using a dataset of diameter increment observations of over 2.3 million trees from 10 National Forest Inventories in Europe and a set of 99 potential explanatory variables covering forest structure, weather, climate, soil and nutrient deposition.

TL;DR: Tree length and species, followed by the slope of the terrain, tree age, and height above sea level were the most important factors found to affect accuracy, and in most of the cases studied the terrestrial tree-height measurements were underestimated when set against definitive measurements of length.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic sampling design was proposed to obtain reliable estimates of species richness and forest attributes, especially in species-diverse forests, where data from 418 systematically distributed 0.4 ha plots were collected.

TL;DR: A well-designed database model reduces a variety of integrity errors and improves access to data tables in identical formats across many plots, allowing data analyses to be easily replicated and results to be compared.
