It uses LANDSAT TM, CBERS-1 data and aerial remote sensing and ground investigation to monitoring the dynamic change of forest vegetation information of Daning County in three different periods – 1978 , 1987and 2000.
Forest planning data is a source of information about forest characteristics for forest managers that may be used in estimating the availability of certain habitats for species conservation.
Members of the newly-created regional network of forest communicators will assist the strengthening of forest policies and programmes through regular sharing of information on forest and environmental issues. .
In conclusion, the retrieval of forest structure information over the lifetime of a planted forest is best achieved by the integration of information from GIS layers with satellite, airborne and ground-based measurements.
In this paper we evaluate the potential of spectral, temporal and angular aspect of remotely sensed data for quantitative extraction of forest structure information in tropical woodlands.
Inclusion of red edge bands and the short wave infrared (SWIR) will support the retrieval of information on forest condition and so support forest degradation monitoring efforts.
If we cannot promote the benefits of thinning due to a lack of information on forest management and the mental and physical restorative effects of forest environments, both forest administrators and users may miss a great opportunity.
"In recognising the decades of work of conservationists I want to pay tribute to the late Helen Gee who was involved for 40-plus years and whose book For the Forests is a wealth of information on all those people who, in many cases, put their bodies in front of the bulldozers.
The advent of mobile laser scanning has enabled time efficient and cost effective collection of forest structure information.
