Introduction: Structure, Function, and Change of Forest Landscapes -- Identifying and Describing Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern: Data Selection Issues and Methodological Implications -- Remotely Sensed Data in the Mapping of Forest Harvest Patterns -- Remotely Sensed Data in the Mapping of Insect Defoliation -- Using Remote Sensing to Map and Monitor Fire Damage in Forest Ecosystems -- Integrating GIS and Remotely Sensed Data for Mapping Forest Disturbance and Change -- New Directions in Landscape Pattern Analysis and Linkages with Remote Sensing -- Characterizing Stand-Replacing Harvest and Fire Disturbance Patches in a Forested Landscape: A Case Study from Cooney Ridge -- Conclusion: Understanding Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern, Information Needs, and New Approaches.
Summary: "Remote sensing and GIS are increasingly used as tools for monitoring and managing forests. This data is often the primary source of information for understanding forest and landscape level disturbance. The focus of Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern: Remote Sensing and GIS Applications is on the application of both remote sensing and GIS technology to forest change and disturbance. The book explores how remote sensing and GIS can be used to evaluate the predisposition of forests to disturbance caused by the effects of fire, insect, infestation, forest harvesting and extreme weather events. Pattern characterization is also a major focus of the book."--Publisher description.
