Forest Remote Sensing
A section of Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292).
Section Information
This section’s aim is to advance basic and applied remote sensing of forests. The section is committed to publishing timely, high quality manuscripts that become immediately pertinent to every scientist in the field — in short, to be the “go to” journal for remote sensing of forests. The section is platform and sensor agnostic, but articles should make fundamental advances, be well written, and be a unique contribution. We are welcome to colleagues’ suggestions for special issues at any time, but be sure that there is sufficient community demand prior to submitting a prospectus. We also welcome well-written review articles that help the community gain a synthetic understanding of the state-of-the-art and probable next steps in subfields of forest remote sensing.
