The @Swift Geospatial development team, James and

The @Swift Geospatial development team, James and Cameron, recently returned from America after attending the Esri Developer Summit (DevSummit) in Palm Springs, California,

Inviting the global developer community, the event is designed to showcase how Esri products are used to advance mapping technology.

With hundreds of hours of education to explore in one location, the team enjoyed informative technical workshops and sessions, and learnt development best practices from GIS experts from across the world.

What Makes A Tree Grow Well: Temperature Temperat

What Makes A Tree Grow Well: Temperature

Temperature triggers vegetation growth, with cooler temperatures slowing growth, and warmer temperatures increasing growth (with limits on both ends). As with all vegetation, trees are adapted to grow optimally under certain temperature ranges (i.e., a minimum and maximum range). Temperatures are usually classified into Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) classes.

This is often further defined into Temperature Zones consisting of 2-degree temperature classes (e.g., 14-16ºC) which take into account mean monthly minimum and mean monthly maximum temperatures, as well as frost risk and altitude (because there is a direct relationship between temperature and altitude – the higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature).https://forestryplatform.com/2022/04/06/tree-growth/

Natural Colour or RGB Imagery (image 1) compared to a False Colour Infrared Image (image 2)

Natural color imagery is a type of image that uses colors that are true to life, or as close to natural as possible. False color imagery, on the other hand, uses colors that are not found in nature, or that have been artificially added to the image.

This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to highlight certain features or to make certain details more visible in forestry monitoring.

@forestryplatform - Free Modules

The Spatial Layers module allows users to study their forests through numerous freely available datasets. Datasets include roads, water features, points of interest, boundary data, human geography data, land use and landcover data, amongst others.

Users will be able to view the location of their woodlots within the environmental context, which can help enrich the planning and decision-making process.

What Makes A Tree Grow Well: Soil Soils are the t

What Makes A Tree Grow Well: Soil

Soils are the third factor that influence how well a species will grow at a particular site. Soils affect tree growth depending on how well they retain moisture, as well as by the physical impediments they might have within their structure that aid or hinder root development. Factors such as soil depth, soil structure and texture, organic carbon content and waterlogging all influence a site’s ability to support specific species in terms of optimal growth.

Shallow soils hold less water than deep soils, while well-drained soils (for example, less strongly structured soils with good texture (good balance between sand and clay particles) tend to promote good growth as they retain moisture better while not hindering root development). Soils with good organic carbon content tend to hold better nutrition for plant growth than those with lower organic carbon content.

Geospatial Forestry Platform - Free Modules

The Sentinel Viewer offered within the free forestry monitoring modules allows access to Sentinel 2 high-resolution satellite imagery over an area of interest. At a spatial resolution of 10m and acquisition times of up to every five days, users receive near-real-time imagery of their forest resource.

What Makes A Tree Grow Well?

Moisture.

Plants need water to grow, and the primary source of this is rainfall, often referred to as precipitation. It is classified into Mean Annual Precipitation (MAP) classes (for example, 900mm p.a.), which is the average total rainfall measured at a location. However, temperature plays a role in the amount of moisture that is available to a plant due to evaporation.

The higher the temperature the more the evaporation, which means that a plant requires a higher precipitation level in hotter areas than in cooler areas.

Certain species have characteristics that make them suitable for certain products or uses and are therefore a preferred choice from a commercial perspective.

However, if the available sites to plant these species do not have the requirements that provide optimal growth for that species, then it will not perform successfully, leading to potential losses or crop failure.

The GFP aims to assist in the planning phase of plantations to ensure the optimal species is planted in the correct location.

Swift Geospatial understands the need for access to accurate contextual information about your woodlots and trees.

Accordingly, the Geospatial Forestry Platform provides access to free forestry monitoring modules that can provide a baseline overview of your forestry areas.
