Biome

Modern Forest Inventory


Remote sensing is a powerful tool, but tree size, species, and individual distribution have to be captured by humans at ground level.

Biome is an innovative tree inventory app to power data collection for biomass estimates, digital monitoring of our forest projects, and furthering ecology research around the world.

There is no substitute for the data that can only be collected on the ground.

A medley of XR, AI, and computer vision technology combined to form a software solution that streamlines the process of collecting forest inventory. Collection times, human errors, and staff training time are some of the key areas where we saw significant improvement.
