The data required for FutMon are being collected at existing UK long term forest monitoring plots, established by ...
In the case of wetlands, there are no studies at a regional scale, as there are for forests, since its monitoring is much more complex. However, there are several studies at smaller scale that report the loss or degradation of these ecosystems. ...
The session I attended portrayed the Global Forest Observations Initiative as an important way of developing MRV activities. ...
Background In Europe, forests cover around 40 % of the land area (190 million ha), making Europe one of the most forest-rich regions in the world. ...
But it doesn't have to be this way, thanks to advances in technology.
