Remote Sensing for Landscape Ecology: New Metric Indicators for Monitoring, Modeling, and Assessment of Ecosystems

Remote Sensing for Landscape Ecology: New Metric Indicators for Monitoring, Modeling, and Assessment of Ecosystems

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book presents a new set of metrics that allows remotely sensed data to be used effectively in landscape ecology. This groundbreaking new work is the first to present new metrics for remote sensing of landscapes and demonstrate how they can be used to yield more accurate analyses for GIS studies. It assesses the current state of the field and how remote sensing and landscape metrics have been used to date and explains how some of the traditional metrics were developed and how they can fail in landscape studies. The new metrics are introduced and their benefits and uses are then explained. This is the first single source for complete background information and instructions on using the new metrics.
