Description
Satellite Remote Sensing for Forest and Environmental Monitoring provides a thorough examination of the applications and methods of satellite remote sensing for analyzing and managing forest environments. From forest height mapping to biodiversity modeling, the book explores a variety of Earth observation applications across cutting-edge sensors and platforms. The book addresses the ability of satelitte technologies to observe and analyse ecological functions, conditions, and socioeconomic benefits for sustainable nature protection in the face of anthropogenic change, offering practical tools and strategies for large-scale forest inventories, fire risk assessment, and freshwater management. Satellite Remote Sensing for Forest and Environmental Monitoring offers postgraduates, researchers, and academics in remote sensing and geospatial technologies, particularly those focusing on forestry applications and related disciplines insights into environmental changes, land use patterns, vegetation mapping, and climate indicators.
