“…Moreover, while they can potentially introduce new and additional problems for social-political inequality related to environments and land use, these same technologies can also contribute to the very problem of environmental change that they would avert by requiring significant energy and material resources for computer hardware and data processing (Dobbe and Whittaker, 2019;Gabrys, 2011Gabrys, , 2014a. The increased production of data, as well as advancement in data analytics and automation, are promoted as strategies for more effectively managing forest ecosystems (Pinho et al, 2018). Decisions can be taken about how to manage forests based on digital systems-indeed these decisions are seen to be "less vulnerable to politicization" (Joppa, 2017).…”

Environments are increasingly becoming technologized sites of data production. From smart cities to smart forests, digital networks are analyzing and joining up environmental processes. This commentary focuses on one such understudied smart environment, smart forests, as emerging digital infrastructures that are materializing to manage and mitigate environmental change. How does the digitalization of forests not only change understandings of these environments but also generate different practices and ontologies for addressing environmental change? I first analyze smart forests within the expanding area of smart environments, and then discuss five digital practices that characterize smart forests. Based on this analysis, I suggest that forests are not only becoming highly digital environments but also that forests are transforming into technologies for managing environmental change. Smart forest interventions therefore expand the scope of what could count as a technology, especially in the context of data-oriented planetary governance.
