In its initial phase, our system integrates Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and total height metrics, fundamental for understanding tree health and growth patterns. By merging Agroclimatology Archive data from NASA's POWER database, we enhance insights into environmental influences on plantation growth, aiding informed forestry decisions.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to enhance understanding of pine tree growth dynamics in diverse climatic environments.
Upon completion, participants will have a greater understanding of the impacts of climate effects on pine plantations.
Upon completion, participants will be able to grasp the potential of integrating Agroclimatology Archive data from NASA's POWER database to understand climatic effects on forests.
