Book Synopsis Mapping Forestry by : Peter James Eredics
Download or read book Mapping Forestry written by Peter James Eredics and published by Esri Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping Forestry describes how geographic information system (GIS) software supports the business of forestry in today's era of economic changes, increased global competition, and diminishing resources. In twenty scenarios from the United States, Germany, Brazil, Romania, Finland, and Cambodia, foresters share how they use GIS to manage commercial operations and sustainable stewardship. Forest managers tell how computer-generated maps and GIS analysis help them determine the best places to build roads, whether logging in a particular area is commercially feasible, which fire-damaged areas should be restored first, and more. Mapping Forestry contains 20 chapters of full-color maps, featuring detailed descriptions of the types of GIS analysis that they represent, making it an excellent tool for forestry professionals.
Book Synopsis Applications of Remote Sensing Data in Mapping of Forest Growing Stock and Biomass by : José Aranha
Download or read book Applications of Remote Sensing Data in Mapping of Forest Growing Stock and Biomass written by José Aranha and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Issue (SI), entitled "Applications of Remote Sensing Data in Mapping of Forest Growing Stock and Biomass”, resulted from 13 peer-reviewed papers dedicated to Forestry and Biomass mapping, characterization and accounting. The papers' authors presented improvements in Remote Sensing processing techniques on satellite images, drone-acquired images and LiDAR images, both aerial and terrestrial. Regarding the images’ classification models, all authors presented supervised methods, such as Random Forest, complemented by GIS routines and biophysical variables measured on the field, which were properly georeferenced. The achieved results enable the statement that remote imagery could be successfully used as a data source for regression analysis and formulation and, in this way, used in forestry actions such as canopy structure analysis and mapping, or to estimate biomass. This collection of papers, presented in the form of a book, brings together 13 articles covering various forest issues and issues in forest biomass calculation, constituting an important work manual for those who use mixed GIS and RS techniques.
Book Synopsis Mapping Forest Landscape Patterns by : Tarmo K. Remmel
Download or read book Mapping Forest Landscape Patterns written by Tarmo K. Remmel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concepts, premises, advancements, and challenges in quantifying natural forest landscape patterns through mapping techniques. After several decades of development and use, these tools can now be examined for their foundations, intentions, scope, advancements, and limitations. When applied to natural forest landscapes, mapping techniques must address concepts such as stochasticity, heterogeneity, scale dependence, non-Euclidean geometry, continuity, non-linearity, and parsimony, as well as be explicit about the intended degree of abstraction and assumptions. These studies focus on quantifying natural (i.e., non-human engineered) forest landscape patterns, because those patterns are not planned, are relatively complex, and pose the greatest challenges in cartography, and landscape representation for further interpretation and analysis.

Book Synopsis Land use/land cover and forest cover mapping in Nigeria by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Land use/land cover and forest cover mapping in Nigeria written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the framework of a Technical Assistance (TA) Agreement (UTF/NIR/066/NIR), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), provided technical support to the Federal Government of Nigeria to undertake a number of activities, which included land use/land cover analysis and production of an updated land cover/land use map for Nigeria. An existing national classification system, adopted by FORMECU in 1998, and comprising 36 classes was aggregated into 12 classes and used for this purpose. A land use/land cover map for 1995 based on the 12 classes was also produced. The land use/land cover analysis were undertaken in SEPAL and SEPAL-CEO (SEPAL-Collect Earth Online) which is an open-source, cloud-based platform. Map mosaics for 2006 and 2016 were produced from free Landsat images extracted from the SEPAL archives and classification was then undertaken to Collect Earth Online using the 12 aggregated land use/land cover classes. The procedure required the use of higher resolution images such as SPOT 5, GeoEye, and IKONOS images. A total of 1667 training data points were collected across the 12 land cover classes over the entire country. Fieldwork (ground-truthing) was carried out in six states to verify and clarify unresolved areas especially among savannas and arable land, tree crop plantation and forest plantation, freshwater forest and mangrove; and led to the collection of 252 additional training data points.

Book Synopsis Mapping international funding flows to support forest and environmental sectors in Central Africa by : Favada, I.M.
Download or read book Mapping international funding flows to support forest and environmental sectors in Central Africa written by Favada, I.M. and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Africa is home to the second largest rainforest in the world, the Congo Basin. However, while this massive forest block stores huge amounts of carbon, it receives significantly less international funding than the Amazon and Southeast Asia’s forests. Financing being a central to combat climate change, this study aims to map international flows supporting the forest and environment sectors in Central Africa.This publication analyses the funding flows over the last decade in support of nature conservation and sustainable management of the Congo Basin, presents various themes covered by the current financing and identifies possible imbalances. It also provides a comparative analysis between financing flows to the various forest basins in the world and identifies opportunities for increasing financing for forests in Central Africa.Specifically, the report provides data on the Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Central Africa in the period 2008-2017. The authors, using a well-structured methodology bring out the various characteristics of funding to Central African countries highlighting the top bilateral donor, Germany, and the top multilateral donor, the European Union.Richard Eba’a Atyi, lead author, is the regional coordinator for the Center of International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Central Africa. He also coordinates the Strengthening and institutionalization of the Central African Forest Observatory (RIOFAC) project which supported this study. He worked in collaboration with Liboum Mbonayem - forestry engineer and research officer at CIFOR in Central Africa, Phillipe Guizol – senior scientist at CIFOR and The French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and Ibrahim M. Favada – Forest economist.

Book Synopsis Mapping Nature across the Americas by : Kathleen A. Brosnan
Download or read book Mapping Nature across the Americas written by Kathleen A. Brosnan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maps are inherently unnatural. Projecting three-dimensional realities onto two-dimensional surfaces, they are abstractions that capture someone’s idea of what matters within a particular place; they require selections and omissions. These very characteristics, however, give maps their importance for understanding how humans have interacted with the natural world, and give historical maps, especially, the power to provide rich insights into the relationship between humans and nature over time. That is just what is achieved in Mapping Nature across the Americas. Illustrated throughout, the essays in this book argue for greater analysis of historical maps in the field of environmental history, and for greater attention within the field of the history of cartography to the cultural constructions of nature contained within maps. This volume thus provides the first in-depth and interdisciplinary investigation of the relationship between maps and environmental knowledge in the Americas—including, for example, stories of indigenous cartography in Mexico, the allegorical presence of palm trees in maps of Argentina, the systemic mapping of US forests, and the scientific platting of Canada’s remote lands.
