Description
Circular sample plots are key to forest inventory, but current methods are often costly or labor-intensive. We propose a simple, smartphone-based approach to measure tree DBH and locations within a circular plot. It offers accurate results and is accessible to both researchers and local forest managers.

Smartphone-based Circular Plot Sampling for Forest Inventory
Circular sample plots are key to forest inventory, but current methods are often costly or labor-intensive. We propose a simple, smartphone-based approach to measure tree DBH and locations within a circular plot. It offers accurate results and is accessible to both researchers and local forest managers.
