Geosciences applied to forest management: Second revised edition

The proven scientific and technical capabilities of forest geomatics in Spain have served as the starting point for this work. Forest geomatics needs to incorporate knowledge into its practical application in order to evolve in line with the scientific process. Based on this idea, the main objective of this book is to showcase the principal technical and scientific contributions in the field of geospatial technologies applied to forestry science. This book attempts to compile the most recent innovations to meet the scientific, technical, and professional demands of the forestry sector. Furthermore, given the dynamism of this field, one of the book’s objectives is to foster the exchange of ideas and experiences related to forest geomatics, as one of the areas with the greatest capacity for technological innovation in the sector.

Finally, it is worth highlighting the educational value of this work in forestry training, as it constitutes innovative teaching material for specialized master’s programs in geomatics at the national level, as well as for non-formal training programs (micro-credentials). Thus, the book is offered as a tool to promote training and the acquisition of digital skills in all areas of forestry science. In this sense, this text represents a valuable resource for professionals to acquire digital skills geared towards the development of specific forest management measures, fostering lifelong learning.
