Develop, evaluate, and integrate sensors, multi-stream data, and AI algorithms to create a set of digital tools and wall-to-wall coverage data that will provide refined, near real-time, and spatially-explicit measurements.
Leverage these efforts to construct and apply an integrated framework for modeling current and future forest ecosystem service trends under climate change for multi-objective optimization at the landowner scale, while providing multi-stakeholder simulations and tradeoff analyses of forest management at the regional scale.
