Abstract

This chapter describes work undertaken within the Landscape Logic project that extends existing knowledge of remote sensing and how it can contribute to the measuring and mapping of vegetation condition. Its focus is providing tools and techniques for monitoring and reporting changes in vegetation and its components. Understanding the relationship between remotely sensed and field-based measures of different vegetation biophysical characteristics underlies the development of any such new tool or technology, as does understanding issues of spatial data uncertainty and the implications of this for mapping vegetation and condition.
