Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book by Achard and Hansen is timely and most welcome ... . With the help of key international experts, this volume reviews achievements in using a range of satellite data sources and in applying latest developments in remote sensing science. ... this book also constitutes a good base for addressing future needs in terms of technology and novel applications. In addition, the information contained in the impressive list of contributions to this volume significantly adds to the scientific understanding of the role of forest in the earth system. Changes which are currently taking place in many forested areas of the world are rapid; the necessity of providing regular reviews such as the one presented here by Achard and Hansen is, indeed, critical."
