Ramesh and his request for a suggestion on a good book on "Remote Sensing for Biodiversity and Wildlife Management".

The other day I got a request from Ramesh, my friend, to suggest a good book on "Remote Sensing for Biodiversity and Wildlife Management". The book that came to my mind is "Remote Sensing for Biodiversity and Wildlife Management: Synthesis and Applications" authored by Steven Franklin, president and vice chancellor at Trent University.

The book gives a good account of the Latest Advances in Remote Sensing for Biodiversity and wildlife conservation.

COVERAGE INCLUDES:

· Management information requirements

· Geospatial data collection and processing

· Thermal, passive and active microwave, and passive and active optical sensing

· Integrated remote sensing, GIS, GPS, and spatial models

· Remote sensing of ecosystem process and structure

· Proven methods for acquiring, interpreting, and analyzing remotely sensed data

· Habitat suitability and quality analysis

· Mapping anthropogenic disturbances and modeling species distribution

· Biodiversity indicators, including species richness mapping and productivity modeling

· Habitat quality and dynamics

· Indicators and processes

· Invasive alien species

· Species prediction models

· Food and resources

· Biodiversity monitoring

· Fragmentation and spatial heterogeneity

·         Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional

·         ISBN-10: 0071622470

·         ISBN-13: 978-0071622479
