Single tree derivation
Using single tree derivation, we analyse your forest comprehensively on the basis of high-resolution aerial photographs. Every tree is digitally recorded and assessed — providing a modern, efficient and dynamic data set.
From a snapshot to a dynamic planning tool
Traditional inventory surveys often provide only a snapshot of the forest at a specific point in time. Single tree derivation goes one step further.
Using high-resolution aerial photographs, your forest is analysed comprehensively and converted into a digital map that can be continuously updated. Instead of a static value at a specific point in time, you thus receive an up-to-date, highly detailed picture of your forest at any time – with a level of detail that traditional methods can scarcely match.
In this way, a one-off inventory becomes a dynamic planning tool – serving as the basis for well-informed decisions and modern forest management.
What makes the EBA special
Among other things, the single tree derivation enables:
- Identification of individual trees
- Determination of tree heights
- Distinction between deciduous and coniferous trees
- Classification of key conifer species
- Detection of standing deadwood
Supplementary spot checks further ensure the reliability of the results.

Frequently asked questions and answers
Single tree derivation is a modern method used in forest management. Using high-resolution aerial photographs, your forest is analysed in its entirety and every single tree is digitally recorded.
The single tree derivation provides a detailed and up-to-date overview of your forest. It enables comprehensive analyses, reduces the amount of work required in the field and provides a modern basis for planning and decision-making.
Depending on the stand, factors such as tree height, stand structure, tree species and standing deadwood, amongst others, can be automatically detected and analysed.
By linking to the palos platform, data can be updated on an ongoing basis. This transforms the forest management plan from a static report into a dynamic planning tool.
The single tree derivation is a modern approach to forest management and opens up new possibilities for data collection and planning. The most suitable method depends on the requirements of your operation.
