Summary
Scientists who conduct research on forest ecosystems and sustainable forest management.
Description
Forestry researchers specialize in forest ecosystems, tree physiology, pedology, and related fields. They elucidate forest structures and functions through field surveys, experiments, remote sensing, and GIS analysis. Based on the data obtained, they construct models and propose sustainable forest management, climate change impact assessments, carbon sequestration promotion measures, and more. They conduct research at universities, public research institutions, and corporate research labs, participate in paper presentations, policy recommendations, and practical projects in collaboration with local communities.
Future Outlook
With growing interest in climate change measures and sustainable resource use, demand for forest ecosystem research is on the rise. Research utilizing remote sensing and AI will become even more important in the future.
