Description
Remote sensing and GIS are increasingly used as tools for monitoring and managing forests. Remotely sensed and GIS data are now the data sources of choice for capturing, documenting, and understanding forest disturbance and landscape pattern. Sitting astride the fields of ecology, forestry, and remote sensing/GIS, Understanding Forest Disturbanc
Reviews / Votes
". . . this book seriously integrates the use of remote sensing and GIS techniques to help forestry researchers, resource management professionals, and conservation biologists meet the challenges of capturing and characterizing forest disturbance and their spatial patterns . . . well-researched and makes a significant contribution to the forestry, remote sensing and landscape ecology bodies of literature."- Kin M. Ma, Geography and Planning Department, Grand Valley State University, in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, November 2008
