| - Forest informatics is the combined science of Forestry and informatics, with a special emphasis on collection, management, and processing of data, information and knowledge, and the incorporation of informatic concepts and theories specific to enrich forest management and forest science; it has a similar relationship to library science and information science. It is an interdisciplinary science primarily concerned with the collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. Information, in this context, includes both human and machine readable documents. Examples of human readable documents include maps, field data sheets, operational schedules, and long term asset management plans with narrative text. Machine readable documents include files for geographic information systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and other applications like spreadsheets, and relational database management systems. As in management science, Forest Informatics uses decision support systems, mathematical modeling, statistics, and algorithms from engineering, operations research, computer science, and artificial intelligence to support decision-making activities. Common forestry problems include harvest scheduling, model fitting, optimal sampling, remote sensing, crew assignment, image classification, treatment timing, and log bucking problems, many of which can be formulated as optimization problems (e.g. generalized assignment problem, traveling salesman problem, knapsack problem, job shop scheduling, and vehicle routing problems). The practice includes information processing and the engineering of information systems, decision support systems, geographic information systems, and global positioning systems. The research field includes studies the structure, algorithms, behavior, and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process, access and communicate information about forested ecosystems.

- 森林情報学(しんりんじょうほうがく)とは、森林空間情報学、森林情報管理学ともいわれ、 IT(情報技術)を使い、森林情報の収集、管理、活用をするための情報科学。 森林を管理するに当たって調査収集する森林情報は過去と現在はもとより未来をみても、その範囲と規模は量的に膨大で質的にも貴重であり、21世紀からの情報技術の発達以降、各大学の森林環境に関する学科で森林情報学を開講し、森林情報学に関する研究室が開設されている。 リモートセンシングなどを森林科学に応用。森林系地理情報システム(GIS)等の情報技術の開発研究等が行われている。 関連資格に、がを認定している。 (ja)
