Precision forestry aims to monitor and manage forest resources using high-resolution data and advanced sensor technologies. Its main tools are remote sensing, LiDAR, unmanned aerial vehicles, geographic information systems, and data analytics. What this approach offers forestry is the ability to base management decisions on current, site-specific data rather than on general assumptions.
