GIS and Remote Sensing Applications in Biogeography and Ecology

GIS and Remote Sensing Applications in Biogeography and Ecology edited by Andrew C. Millington, Stephen J. Walsh, Patrick E. Osborne.

In recent years, the conservation of tropical forests has received worldwide publicity whereas effective forest management, particularly for timber extraction, has attracted little attention and gained some notoriety. The overall aim of the present paper was to examine how environmental micro-variat...
