L. aUsing GIS to estimate forest resource changes.h[electronic resource] c1992 aForest management as well as the general public have had a continuing interestin the level and quality of forest management on small non industrial private forest lands. Those in forest industries have been mostly concerned about future supplies of wood fiber, but the nation as a whole is concerned about the effects that healthy forests tands have on such things as air quality, esthetic quality, wildlife habitat, and water quality. Timely regeneration following harvestingis obviously Key to the concerns of both groups. Use of remotely sensed data, computer assisted image processing, and geographic information systems (GIS) technology allows quick and efficient evaluation of the resource base. This article presents a case study illustrating the application of these technologies. aFloresta aSistema de Informação Geográfica aForest1 aREED, D. D.1 aMROZ, G. D.1 aLYON, G.
