Background
Most activities in forestry are scale related, be it in management, policy processes, or research. While information for operational forest planning is needed on a stand level, strategic planning and policy formulation requires information on a national, regional or even global level. On each level data from various sources and thus, at different scales are used. Such information needs to be transparent, consistent, and methodically sound in order to serve as a reliable base for decision makers.
