REMOTE SENSING - MEANS OF STUDY AND GENERAL ANALYSIS OF THE FOREST

The satellite remote sensing is a relatively new technique which allows, through its means, the acquisition of satellite images on large land surfaces. Amongst the sectors in which the remote sensing data have immediate applicability there is also the forestry one. This article presents, in synthesis, the main aspects regarding the applications of the satellite remote sensing at the level of study and general analysis of the forest, and also at the level of the stands. The biophysical parameters of the forest are included in the first category, while the description of the structural characteristics of the stands is included in the second category.
