Reviewer 2 Report

This study titled “An End to End Process Development for UAV-SfM based Forest Monitoring: Individual Tree Detection, Species Classification and Carbon Dynamics Simulation” is an interesting study that uses images from drone-based platform to map tree species at three hierarchical levels. The study uses a combination of software packages where one can feed data sets to get different products. However, the study is supported by field data collection.

My major concern with this paper is the use of technical terms, and sometimes using incorrect terms. For example, MODIS Sensor is mentioned as a satellite. Similarly, there is no mention of datum and coordinate system used for the analysis, and the maps are cartographically incorrect. This demonstrates a shallow depth of knowledge about the tools and methods being used for this study that potentially can lead to misinterpretation of results. I have mentioned some of these aspects through the text in the PDF version of the paper.
