Riassunto

Remote sensing technologies may facilitate the measurement of some key forest properties which, when combined with other information contained in various computer models, may allow for the quantification of critical forest functions. This book explores how remote sensing and computer modeling can be combined to estimate changes in the carbon storage, or productivity, of forests - from the level of the leaf to the level of the globe.

Recensione:

`The approaches discussed in the book are not limited to forests only they can easily be utilized in evaluation of other types of ecosystems. This is why the book will certainly be highly valuable for a wide range of scientists and land managers.'
Biologia Plantarum, 40:4 (1997/8)
