Forests provide a variety of ecosystem services (ESs) that contribute to a society’s wellbeing. ES provision depends on the structure and evolution of forest ecosystems and is influenced by forest management. Society’s increasing need for ESs requires these complex ecological dynamics to be understood and integrated in forest management and planning. We present the decision support system (DSS) Multisilva for multifunctional forest management. The Multisilva DSS is a web-based application that comprises two tools: the Mapping tool and the Simulation tool. The first tool provides spatial statistics and maps of the current provision of ESs at the forest property level. The Simulation tool compares two alternative, user-defined management scenarios over time and returns the biophysical estimations of ESs and the economic costs for each alternative. Multisilva is calibrated for Luxembourg, though it can be adapted for other temperate forest regions.

This chapter explored the potential of generative AI in the context of geoinformatics training. Generative AI techniques can generate realistic synthetic data to support tasks like land cover classification and object detection. Moreover, AI-generated datasets can help students develop skills in remote sensing, GIS, and spatial analysis without the limitations of real-world data. Interactive simulations can provide immersive learning for disaster management and urban planning, despite requiring significant resources. Additionally, AI-generated, diverse geospatial datasets can support analytics training. Customizable AI-generated examples improve learning outcomes, while AI-generated instructional content can boost educational resource quality. The chapter also included demonstration examples of how generative AI can be used for spatial analysis and course material preparation for imparting geoinformatics training to undergraduate students.

Remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) have been extensively used for their ability to provide better scope for decision making in terms of monitoring and managing various natural resources: water, land, forest, agriculture, natural hazards, climate change, etc. In this chapter, the authors precisely discuss in detail about the various applications of remote sensing and GIS in numerous fields such as monitoring water quality, crop modelling, monitoring wildlife habitat and forest management, application in agriculture and soil science, water resource, as well as natural disaster management. This chapter will also incorporate several case studies where GIS and remote sensing were used as a powerful tool to delineate and monitor environmental changes and take the necessary steps to manage the same. This chapter will thus focus on the importance of remote sensing and GIS and its impact in sound decision-making, which in turn will secure the sustainable utilization of natural resources to reach the requirements of present as well as future generations.
