Forest monitoring workshop report - November 2005
Report on the National Forest Inventory Workshop on Monitoring Forest Extent and Condition
Outcomes of the National Forest Inventory Workshop
Melbourne, 15 & 16 November 2005
The National Forest Inventory (NFI) in partnership with States and Territories convened a workshop on 'remote sensing for forest extent and condition'. The workshop was attended by 45 forest researchers and inventory specialists to consider the technical needs of the proposed Continental Forest Monitoring Framework.
The workshop agreed that a national monitoring framework was needed to meet Australia?s domestic and international forest reporting needs because current approaches using periodic map compilations are not adequate to report on change in forest extent or condition.
The workshop covered a wide range of forest monitoring issues and a short report summarising the workshop outcomes is available in the following formats:
