This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forester's Guide to Aerial Photo Interpretation This guide is intended as a practical reference on techniques of aerial photo interpretation in forest inventory. It'is written for the forester with a casual knowledge of aerial photography. No attempt is made to cover complex subjects like topographic mapping or operation of expensive stereo-plotting instruments. Although single prints are occasionally useful, emphasis is on ste r e o s c 0pi c interpretation of vertical aerial photog raphs available from various agencies of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (usda). Southern forest conditions are stressed, but the basic techniques are applicable in most of the United States. With a minimum of training, the forester can use photos to de termine bearings and distances, identify broad forest types, and measure areas. Additional experience will enable him to improve the efficiency of timber cruising by distributing field samples on the basis of photo classifications. In some instances, he may even be able to estimate timber volumes directly from the photographs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Test of Aerial Photo Classifications in Forest Management-Volume Inventories This roundabout procedure, Wherein photo interpretation is expected to classify plots into essentially ground-defined strata, is justified on the assumption that the traditional ground classifications are the most efficient approach to volume estimates; but, are they? Since the primary purpose of stratification in timber cruising has always been to obtain a good volume estimate, the most effective photo scheme to accomplish this will be one whose criteria are most closely related to ground volume. If the objectives also include an estimate of acres needing cultural or other management treatment, the best scheme may be one whose criteria are also related to these. Before traditional ground classification schemes are recommended for photo use, they should be tested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Forest Ecology and Conservation written by Adrian Newton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-05-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures on remaining natural forests continue to intensify, leading to high rates of biodiversity loss. Understanding how human activities influence ecological processes within forests is essential for developing effective conservation action. This book describes research methods and techniques relevant to understanding forest ecology, with a particular focus on those that are relevant to practical conservation and sustainable forest management. This information is currently disparate and difficult to locate and, as with other books in this series, the intention is to provide a comprehensive synthesis for use by graduate students, researchers and practising conservationists. Methods are presented for assessing forest extent and condition, structure and composition, and forest dynamics at a variety of scales. Techniques for assessing genetic variation and reproductive ecology, and for evaluating the habitat value of forests are also described. Particular emphasis is given to state-of-the-art techniques such as remote sensing, GIS, computer modelling and molecular markers. However, traditional methods of forest mensuration and ecological survey are also presented. The methods and techniques described are generally applicable to all forest types, including both temperate and tropical forest ecosystems.
Download or read book Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options written by James M. Vose and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.
Download or read book Remote Sensing Image Analysis Including the Spatial Domain written by Steven M. de Jong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote Sensing image analysis is mostly done using only spectral information on a pixel by pixel basis. Information captured in neighbouring cells, or information about patterns surrounding the pixel of interest often provides useful supplementary information. This book presents a wide range of innovative and advanced image processing methods for including spatial information, captured by neighbouring pixels in remotely sensed images, to improve image interpretation or image classification. Presented methods include different types of variogram analysis, various methods for texture quantification, smart kernel operators, pattern recognition techniques, image segmentation methods, sub-pixel methods, wavelets and advanced spectral mixture analysis techniques. Apart from explaining the working methods in detail a wide range of applications is presented covering land cover and land use mapping, environmental applications such as heavy metal pollution, urban mapping and geological applications to detect hydrocarbon seeps. The book is meant for professionals, PhD students and graduates who use remote sensing image analysis, image interpretation and image classification in their work related to disciplines such as geography, geology, botany, ecology, forestry, cartography, soil science, engineering and urban and regional planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books. "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.
