Book Description
The purpose of the project reported was to investigate how large-scale sampling photography (LSSP) can be used to enhance the current forest resource inventory (FRI) methodology of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, particularly for forest management planning, regulation, and control purposes. The Timmins Forest (162,923 hectares) was used as the study area. Enhancements focus on three primary roles: how LSSP parallels the FRI data collection procedures and can produce some complementary results; how LSSP can support current FRI data; and how LSSP can provide supplementary information that FRI data cannot. The project also assessed the effectiveness of the inventory data produced by each of the three contributions in an operational context. Effectiveness was evaluated in terms of the accuracy of the information, cost, and limitations.
