Title: Remote sensing of forest tree growth, vigor, and stress. (Latest citations from the Aerospace database). Published Search

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:76261

The bibliography contains citations concerning the application of remote sensing to forestry for purposes of assessing 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 is discussed. Remote sensing techniques for forest applications such as infrared scanners, radar techniques, aerial photography, satellite imagery, and airborne laser mapping are described and evaluated. Remote sensing of crop vigor and arid lands is discussed in separate bibliographies. (Contains 250 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)
