Sampling strategies for estimating forest cover from remote sensing-based two-stage inventories
Background Remote sensing-based inventories are essential in estimating forest cover in tropical and subtropical countries, where ground inventories cannot be performed periodically at a large scale owing to high costs and forest inaccessibility (e.g. REDD projects) and are mandatory for constructi...
