Primena daljinske detekcije u inventuri mešovitih šuma hrasta lužnjaka by Borota Dragan, Pantić Damjan, Ponjarac Radenko, Popović Aleksandar

“…The reasons for the impossibility of a precise interpretation of most of the information related to the information of the site and the stand and for the significant differences in the numerical elements compared to the total measurement lie in the broad and intertwined crowns (dense canopy closure) of the oaks in the upper storey and in the vertical structure of these mixed stands. The results obtained exclude the use of aerial photogrammetry in the inventory of this certain forests, as it does not provide a reliable information basis for the development of realistic forest management plans. …”
