Smartphone-based Circular Plot Sampling for Forest Inventory

Circular sample plots are key to forest inventory, but current methods are often costly or labor-intensive. We propose a simple, smartphone-based approach to measure tree DBH and locations within a circular plot. It offers accurate results and is accessible to both researchers and local forest managers.

Abstract

Circular sample plots are key to forest inventory, but current methods are often costly or labor-intensive. We propose a simple, smartphone-based approach to measure tree DBH and locations within a circular plot. It offers accurate results and is accessible to both researchers and local forest managers.
