Scale considerations for integrating forest inventory plot data and satellite image data for regional forest mapping

2014-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The integration of satellite image data with forest inventory plot data is a popular approach for mapping forest vegetation over large regions. Several methodological choices regarding spatial scale, mostly related to spatial resolution or grain, can profoundly influence forest maps developed from plot and imagery data. Yet often the consequences of scaling choices are not explicitly addressed. Our objective was t...
