Forests provide essential ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, clean water, lumber, and more. It is important that foresters be able to collect accurate forest inventories, especially in a changing climate. Foresters need to know what is in the forest not only to manage for the economic benefits, but also to manage for social acceptability and ecological soundness to prevent further degradation of these ecosystem services. One way to collect accurate and precise forest inventories is through the utilization of remote sensing products. These enhanced forest inventories (EFIs) can be done at varying resolutions that are contingent on the plot …
