Advances in Forest Inventory for Sustainable Forest Management and Biodiversity Monitoring
Forests represent a remnant wilderness of high recreational value in the densely populated industrial societies, a threatened natural resource in some regions of the world and a renewable reservoir of essential raw materials for the wood processing industry. In June 1992 the United Nations Conferenc...
