Open Foris ARENA – a new tool for easy and efficient forest data collection and analysis

Thanks to the financial support from UN-REDD, a new platform has been added to the Open Foris family. Launched on 7 July, Arena is an open-source technical solution enabling forest data collection, storage, management and analysis. Open Foris is a suite of open-source solutions that can be tailored to fit user’s needs, from field data collection to satellite image classification. With the addition of this new platform, the analysis and reporting of forest data is more efficient and flexible than ever before. Open Foris Arena eases the management of field data, as it provides users with the ability to fully customize the inventory structure, variables and data checks. The platform combines the main features of two Open Foris (OF) tools, OF Collect and OF Calc. OF Arena is also fast and flexible, allowing users to set up a forest survey that can handle multiple data types, time-series field data and complex validation rules.
