These measurements provide detailed insights into forest structure, regeneration, and ecosystem health, supporting long-term monitoring and sustainable forest management.]]> Some deviations occurred due to inaccessibility of certain sampling units in remote or high-altitude areas. In these cases, alternative plots were selected using high-resolution satellite imagery to maintain sample representation. No significant changes in sample allocation methodology were reported. Around 90 sample units with count of 747 sub-sample units were shifted. Field measurment [field] The Ratio Estimation Method was applied to ensure representativeness of forest parameters such as growing stock volume, biomass, and forest degradation. The denominator in the ratio estimation was specified as the forest area within each plot, meaning that only portions classified as forest contributed to forest-related calculations. The total forest area was estimated based on a systematic remote sensing sampling survey using the Collect Earth Tool, applying a threshold of 10 percent canopy cover to classify plots as forest. Mongolia used forest mask to define the forest area and divided it by the regions. NFI plots were not used for land use assessment but to generated average values for the parameters for NFI. The response rate for field measurements was high, with data successfully collected from nearly all allocated plots. 34 units have not inventoried comment out of 64 not inventory status. Other 30 units have following comments "blank", "wrong indication of forest", "not forest-rock", "burnt forest with no living trees" and "All trees dead. Insects. Quality control checks were conducted on 10 percent of the field samples, and soil and litter samples were analyzed for carbon assessment. Approximately 6,300 tree core samples were collected for tree growth analysis.
