Abstract

In environmental conservation and management, analysing soil, climate, and stand data within forest ecosystems is crucial for understanding ecological dynamics, projecting changes, and developing sustainable forestry practices. Often, these data are scattered and unintegrated, complicating their use in modelling and analysis. Current tools lack modular integration of soil, climate, and stand data at large and diverse NFI datasets like International Co-operative Programme (ICP) scale (12,000+ sites). ForestScope bridges this gap by automating harmonization of ICP’s Level I/II datasets, together with soil and climate data, which is essential for informed decision-making in forest management.
