Proceedings of the 5th Southern Forestry and Natural Resources GIS Conference

"The 5th Southern Forestry and Natural Resources GIS Conference provided ample illustration of the continuing widespread application of geospatial information technologies in the monitoring and management of the forests of the southern United States. Beginning with the keynote address, describing how GIS has become part of a statewide enterprise information system, to the posters and papers presented, we can see the crucial role that these information technologies play in understanding, measuring, monitoring, and managing a wide array of natural resources.

"Sessions on remote sensing, and global positioning systems illustrated the applications and ongoing development of these core technologies. Sessions on GIS systems and geospatial service systems focused on the management and delivery of geospatial information. Other sessions provided examples of applications in the areas of aquatic resources, forest and land inventory, habitat modeling, disturbance modeling, and broad-scale analyses." [from Preface]

Includes CD-ROM of all printed abstracts, presentations and posters.

Conference held at Asheville, NC, June 12-14, 2006
