TI - Multistage Remote Sensing: Toward an Annual National Inventory JO - Journal of Forestry PY - 1999-12-01T00:00:00/// VL - 97 IS - 12 SP - 44 EP - 48 N2 - Remote sensing can improve efficiency of statistical information. Landsat data can identify and map a few broad categories of forest cover and land use. However, more-detailed information requires a sample of higher-resolution imagery, which costs less than field data but considerably more than Landsat data. A national remote sensing program would be a major undertaking, requiring unprecedented partnerships between federal programs and stakeholders. UR - ER -
