While conventional ground plot-based forest inventories produce attributes over very large areas, Tesera Systems High Resolution Inventory Solutions deliver more accurate estimates of forest attributes at a much finer scale.

Over multiple projects and diverse forest conditions, HRIS is more accurate, with an increase in predictive accuracy of 66% (or three times as accurate). This means that in order to achieve the same accuracy with a conventional ground plot-based approach, one would need to establish at least 9 times the number of ground plots.
