Traditional and TLS-based forest inventories of Beech and Pine forests in Southern Italy

The dataset reports data collected in 24 15-m-radius circular plots, 12 of which were dominated by Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and 12, by Pines (Pinus nigra subsp. laricio). In detail, this dataset is made of: 1) tree-level data, comprising a total of 1709 trees, with information related to field-based forest inventory such as the diameter at breast height (DBH); 2) las file of TLS survey; 3) geographic information on sampling plots and study area; 4) plot-level information related to the time for conducting both traditional field- and TLS-based forest inventories. This data collection was funded with the contribution of the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food, and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF) sub-project “Precision Forestry” (AgriDigit program) (DM 36503.7305.2018 of 20/12/2018).

本数据集收录了24个半径15米的圆形样地中采集的野外数据，其中12个样地以欧洲山毛榉（Fagus sylvatica L.）为优势种，剩余12个样地以黑松laricio亚种（Pinus nigra subsp. laricio）为优势种。具体而言，本数据集包含以下四类内容：1）单木水平数据：共计1709株林木，涵盖基于野外森林调查获取的胸径（DBH, Diameter at Breast Height）等相关信息；2）地面激光扫描（Terrestrial Laser Scanning, TLS）调查所得的LAS格式文件；3）样地及研究区域的地理信息；4）样地水平的调查耗时数据，分别对应传统野外森林调查与基于TLS的森林调查所需的耗时。本数据采集工作由意大利农业、食品与林业政策部（MiPAAF）下属子项目“精准林业”（AgriDigit计划）资助，资助依据为2018年12月20日发布的第DM 36503.7305.2018号部长令。
