Description
Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists Using Open Source Software by Martin Wegmann, Benjamin Leutner, and Stefan Dech is a practical guide to integrating remote sensing and GIS into ecological research. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the application of remote sensing in ecology, covering planning field campaigns, deriving ecologically relevant information, and spatial data sampling. The authors use OpenSource software, including Quantum GIS, R, and GRASS, to demonstrate how to apply remote sensing in conservation and ecology projects. With detailed examples and extended scripts for creating professional-looking maps and graphics, this book is an invaluable resource for students and scientists looking to get started with remote sensing in ecological research and conservation planning.
