Основные итоги IX Всероссийской (с международным участием) научной конференции «Аэрокосмические методы и геоинформационные технологии в лесоведении, лесном хозяйстве и экологии»
This brief report summarizes the key outcomes of the IX All-Russia (with International Participation)
Scientific Conference “Aerospace Methods and Geoinformation Technologies in Forest Science,
Forestry and Ecology”. The conference was held April 15–17, 2025, in Moscow at Isaev Center for
Forest Ecology and Productivity RAS with organizational support from Space Research Institute RAS.
The conference was attended about 130 participants from scientific, industrial, and educational orga-
nizations in Russia, Belarus and Azerbaijan. Sixty papers were presented on key research areas involv-
ing the use of remote sensing and GIS technologies in forest science, forestry and ecology. Plenary
papers focused on the analysis of current large-scale changes in Russian forests at the national and
regional levels, forest fire monitoring, assessment of direct pyrogenic carbon emissions in forests, and
the causes of forest insect outbreaks. The problems of abandoned agricultural lands in Russia and
the need for annual monitoring of the extent of their forest overgrowth were highlighted. The confer-
ence’s sectional presentations focused on the results of advanced research using optical aerial imag-
ery from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and airborne and terrestrial laser scanning to assess forest
characteristics and productivity. Based on the conference results, a collection of abstracts was prepared
in electronic format and posted on the eLIBRARY.RU website. All information about the Ninth All-
Russia Scientific Conference (program, collection of materials, video broadcasts of plenary and sec-
tional sessions, and paper presentations) is available at https://cepl.rssi.ru/confs/ASGIS2025/.
