Zhrnutie	Forest inventory sampling is a systematic approach to estimate forest characteristics such as timber volume, species composition, and biomass by surveying a representative subset of trees rather than conducting exhaustive censuses. Developed by Loetsch and colleagues in the 1970s, the method applies statistical sampling theory to forest assessment and remains the foundation for sustainable forest management and resource monitoring worldwide.	Canopy cover, or canopy closure, is the proportion of ground area covered by tree crowns when viewed from above, typically expressed as a percentage. Formalized by Jennings and colleagues in pioneering work on tropical forest structure, canopy cover estimation employs multiple methods—from field-based ocular assessment to sophisticated remote sensing and terrestrial LiDAR—providing essential data on forest structure, light availability, and habitat characteristics relevant to ecology, silviculture, and climate research.
