  • New Zealand and Flinders University experts have deployed artificial intelligence and 3D laser scanning to accurately map planted pine (radiata) forests for most of NZ's North Island.

The article from MSN discusses the deployment of AI technology in forestry management, specifically focusing on a project in Scotland where AI and remote sensing technologies are being used to enhance woodland management. This initiative, backed by the Scottish government, aims to improve the efficiency of forest operations by using AI to analyze data from drones, satellites, and ground sensors to differentiate between various types of vegetation, assess tree health, and optimize timber harvesting. The technology helps in identifying the best times for planting, thinning, and harvesting, thereby reducing waste and increasing the sustainability of forest resources. This project not only promises to revolutionize how forestry is managed but also supports broader environmental goals by promoting biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
