Digital Forestry as a concept was developed after the Digital Earth program. Digital forestry is a digital framework to maintain forest planting, management, using and protect. The synergetic use of computationally intensive quantitative methods together with information technologies is the most important foundation for the development of digital forestry. Under this situation, a number of academicians, scholar, and professional administrators were involved in discussing the Digital Forestry construction Scheme.
By introducing a case study of Digital Forestry on “Development of database of pulping and paper making properties of fast growing plantation crops”, this book reviews the concept of Digital Forestry, the way turning traditional forestry into Digital Forestry, and the future development of Digital forestry.
