Wulder, Michael and Steven E. Franklin
Understanding Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern. Remote Sensing and GIS Approaches. 2006. 246 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
The authors combine techniques from a number of disciplines, includingremote sensing, geographic information systems, forest monitoring, andlandscape ecology. They illustrate the union of methods (RS/GIS), ecology, and biology to enable an improved understanding of forest disturbances and patterns. The book includes state-of-the-art examples of mapping key forest disturbances, and discusses patterncharacterization, including disturbance patterns, metrics and measures,and recommendations. It provides a summary of remotely sensed data, processing, and implications for change detection.
