Rezatec’s reforestation product gives forest managers a data-driven way to assess how newly planted stands are establishing, without needing to visit every block first. This demonstration walks through the platform’s core data layers, including deciduous percentage, softwood percentage, total vegetation percentage, and a relative density score. Built from ten-metre pixel-based layers, these outputs reveal variation within each forest block between planted softwood and competing deciduous vegetation, so managers can pinpoint exactly where brushing activity is needed and focus resources where competition is most significant.
At the heart of the product is the ability to turn detailed pixel data into practical, stand-level insight. The total vegetation layer highlights areas with little or no growth, while the new relative density score, ranging from zero for sparse or bare ground to one for the densest vegetation, helps identify stands that may require thinning. Where accurate planting data such as stems per hectare is available, this score can be used to generate non-relative density estimates. Each stand is also assigned average values for competition intensity, establishment progress, and relative density, with a summary table that makes it easy to compare stands side by side.
The demonstration also covers the Rezatec dashboard, where filters can be applied to prioritise management activities and integrate additional forest mensuration alongside reforestation metrics. Managers can, for example, isolate stands with the highest deciduous percentages and highest density scores to surface the clearest candidates for intervention, then see exactly where those stands sit on the map and drill into pixel-level detail.
