Potential for Boom-Mounted Remote Sensing Applications in Seedling Quality Monitoring
Keefe, R. F., Eitel, J. U. H., Long, D. S., and Davis, A. S. USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Proceedings RMRS-P-58. p.48-51. National Proceedings: Forest and Conservation Nursery Association - 2008. 2009.
Remotely sensed aerial and satellite sensor imagery is widely used for classification of vegetation structure and health on industrial and public lands. More intensively than at any other time in the life of a planted tree, its health and status will be maintained and monitored while under culture in a bareroot or container nursery. As a case in point, inventories to track seedling root-collar diameter, height, bud development, and merchantability at the University of Idaho Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling Research greenhouses are conducted and discussed bi-weekly.
