High‑Accuracy Deadwood Mapping
Make informed decisions with precise insights into tree mortality, forest health, and biodiversity conditions.
Reliable Detection of Deadwood at Scale
Deadwood signals both ecological value and potential operational risks before they are visible in the field by revealing tree stress and ecosystem changes. Arbonaut’s precise mapping of deadwood trees and clusters improves forest planning, reduces uncertainly, and strengthens long-term forest resilience without the cost of extensive ground surveys.
>90% accuracy for detecting large dead trees
For individual and cluster dead trees
Multiple data sources for optimal results
Seamless data integration into forest management systems
Complete Deadwood Mapping Outputs
Points of dead trees
For risk control and informed decision-making.
- Target your forest management operations with exact geolocation while reducing the need for field visits
- Prioritize the operations and allocate resources to the most affected areas with precise count of dead trees
Delineated tree crowns
Separation of individual dead trees from healthy ones, allowing analysis on per-tree level and deeper understanding of deadwood structure.
- Detect risk areas and evaluate the extent of damage with severity and affected area calculations
- Estimate deadwood volume (m³/ha) for biodiversity certifications (FSC, PEFC, etc.), carbon storage and sink calculations, and assessment of economical value of dead trees

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Deadwood mapping is also available as a standalone service and does not require a full forest inventory.
With high-resolution commercial satellite imagery, results can typically be delivered in under one month. Timelines vary by area size and data source.
Deadwood is a critical habitat element for hundreds of red listed species, making it a key indicator in many certification and monitoring frameworks. Quantified deadwood volumes, locations, and patterns provide clear evidence for compliance reporting.
With mapped locations and severity levels, operational teams can plan felling, clearing, and machinery rerouting more efficiently, along with reduction of time spent scouting the field.
