Forest management service

Conifer forest planting and ensuring optimal growth is costly and time-consuming, the most critical phase for young seedling growth being the 10 years after planting. The main reason for a poor growth or even destruction of the seedlings is the rapid growth of leaf plants, which hamper the vitality and growth of conifer plants. One of the biggest challenges is that the forest areas are huge and forest owners or forest management organisations do not know the locations of these critical areas or the optimal period for forest management work. The Shrub Mapping service offers up-to-date data about the shrub situation for large geographical areas using EO data. The main user segments are forest owners, forest management companies and system and applications providers for forestry.
