MORE INFORMATION ON THE METHODOLOGY
To create the plan we first mapped the standing stock and soil characteristics using RapidEye-5m ground resolution satellite images and field sample plots measured with TRESTIMA. These were then used as input into a wood flow optimisation program which considered all costs related to wood sourcing as well as the legislative framework under which the lease areas are managed.
