Forest Management with Advance Geoscience: Future Prospects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Spatial Modeling in Forest Resources Management

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ESE))

Abstract

The creation and implementation, involving key stakeholders, of context-specific forest management practices plays a significant role in the achievements of sustainable forest management. A number of site-growth modelling studies have been funded in recent years with the goal of developing quantitative relations between the site Index and specific biophysical indicators. With considerable time period, the role of forests in meeting the requirements for minor resources and ecological services has been recognized beyond the mere supply of forest. Present chapter describes advance geoscience application in forest management and also suggesting present research work to be adopted in future forest management plan. Counter-measures and recommendations were suggested on different forest management aspects, including developing consolidated structured data sets, designing top-ranking model monitoring and analysis and creating a multi-scenario decision support network. Finally, we proposed the main field of research in forestry research by incorporating and developing the participatory method, crowd sourcing, crisis mapping models and simulation systems and by linking data integration framework of geospatial technology, evaluation system and decision support system, to enhance forestry management by systematically and efficiently.
