Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5979540

The bibliography contains citations concerning the application of remote sensing to forestry with regard to forest vigor and the identification of stressed trees. The uses of stress indicators for potential location of metal deposits, distribution of groundwater, infestation by disease or insects, effects of air pollution, and general forest decline are cited. Remote sensing of seedling growth and distribution of cleared forest lands are are discussed. Remote sensing techniques for forest applications such as infrared scanners, radar techniques, aerial photography, satellite imagery, airborne laser mapping are described and evaluated.
