Previous studies on this topic have had several operational drawbacks, e.g., performance studied at a small scale and at a single tree-level with large fieldwork costs. The current study presents the results from a large-area inventory providing species composition following an operational area-based approach. The study utilizes a combination of airborne laser scanning and hyperspectral data and 97 field sample plots of 250 m2 collected over 350 km2 of productive forest in Norway. The results show that, with the availability of hyperspectral data, species-specific volume proportions can be provided in operational forest management inventories with acceptable results in 90% of the cases at the plot level. Dominant species were classified with an overall accuracy of 91% and a kappa-value of 0.73. Species-specific volumes were estimated with relative root mean square differences of 34%, 87%, and 102% for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), and deciduous species, respectively. A novel tree-based approach for selecting pixels improved the results compared to a traditional approach based on the normalized difference vegetation index.

With this method, empirical relationships are established between ALS metrics and ground reference observations of forest attributes, and wall-to-wall predictions can be made over large areas. However, the prediction errors may be influenced by terrain slope and aspect because the properties of the ALS point cloud are dependent on these factors. Two datasets covering wide ranges of terrain slope and aspect, collected in the western part of Norway, were analysed. The first dataset represented sample plots from an ordinary operational forest management inventory and the second dataset were collected as an experimental dataset where clusters of sample plots were distributed on slopes with different inclinations. Six forest attributes were predicted using non-linear regression and the prediction errors were analysed using univariate- and multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that slope and aspect affected the prediction errors, but that the effects were small in magnitude. Thus, the current study concludes that terrain effects seem to be negligible in operational forest inventories.
