Thünen-Institute of Forest Ecosystems
In addition to its forest ecology research, the Thünen Institute of Forest Ecosystems (TI-WO) has successfully coordinated various nationwide monitoring systems in the forest for many years: Forest Condition Survey, Soil Condition Survey, Intensive Forest Monitoring, Federal Forest Inventory, Wildlife Monitoring System, and the International Cooperation Program Forests (ICP Forests).
Within TI-WO a cross-sectional group was established to investigate the potential and application of remote sensing technologies to answer various questions related to forests. In the field of forest inventories, the integration of remote sensing data for the federal forest inventory with small area estimators is currently being implemented. Furthermore, possibilities of using drones in the field of forest monitoring are intensively investigated on own test areas. This includes damage detection as well as the spatial representation of phenological phases. The institute is an active member of the Working Group on Forest Aerial Photo Interpretation (AFL).
