INvenTree is collating tree inventory datasets from disparate datasets across the country towards syntheses that will benefit ecological research and researchers.
How?
Collating tree data
Collaborating among Indian scientists
Distilling novel insights
Why
Over the last few decades, Indian researchers have published over 450 papers using data from tree inventories across a large range of ecosystems.
These data have often been collected using standard methodologies and collectively span large space and time ranges. When synthesised, they can provide strong baselines and unmatched insights into India’s ecosystems, beyond the constraints that limit primary ecological data collection.
Widening access to these data, we want to identify gaps and offer broad-scale insights for future forest conservation, management and restoration.
