???? Neftaly: Remote Sensing-Based Forest Stratification Techniques
Enhancing Forest Management Through Precise Stratification
Effective forest management requires a deep understanding of the spatial variability within forest landscapes. Forest stratification — dividing a forest into distinct strata or layers based on structure, species composition, or condition — allows managers to apply targeted strategies for conservation, harvesting, and restoration.
Neftaly leverages advanced remote sensing technologies to deliver accurate, scalable forest stratification that supports data-driven decision-making.

???? What Is Forest Stratification?
Forest stratification involves classifying forest areas into homogeneous units or strata that share similar characteristics, such as:
Tree height and canopy density
Species composition and age classes
Biomass and carbon stock levels
Health and stress conditions
Disturbance regimes
Stratification helps prioritize management actions, optimize resource allocation, and improve monitoring efficiency.

???? Neftaly’s Remote Sensing Approach
Neftaly uses a combination of LiDAR, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, and machine learning algorithms to classify forest strata with high precision:
Canopy Height Models (CHM) derived from LiDAR identify vertical forest structure.
Spectral signatures from multispectral/hyperspectral data differentiate species and health status.
Texture and density metrics help distinguish forest types and disturbance levels.
AI-driven classification integrates multiple data layers for robust stratification maps.
This approach produces detailed maps and datasets that reveal forest heterogeneity at various spatial scales.
