Forest Resources Resilience and Conflicts: Mapping, Modeling, and Managing for Sustainable Livelihood

Forest Resources Resilience and Conflicts: Mapping, Modeling, and Managing for Sustainable Livelihood presents modern remote sensing and GIS techniques for mapping, monitoring, measuring, and modeling forest resources. The book provides an up-to-date critical analysis of the discourse surrounding forest resources and society, illustrating the relationship between forest resources and the livelihood of local people. The book is organized into five parts. Each chapter reviews current understanding, present research, and future implications. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in environmental science, especially those interested in forestry, geography, and remote sensing. Utilizing case studies and novel advances in geospatial technologies, this reference provides a timely synthesis of a rapidly growing field and stimulates ideas for future work, especially in light of sustainable development goals. The book presents the effective contribution of the forestry sector to population livelihoods through improved collection of forestry statistics that foster understanding and integration of the forestry sector in poverty reduction processes and the national economy to enhance its integration in national planning. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students in environmental science, especially those interested in forestry, geography, and remote sensing. Demonstrates the measurement, monitoring, mapping, and modeling of forest resources Explores state-of-the-art techniques using open source software, R statistical programming, and GIS, focusing on recent trends in data mining and machine learning Addresses a wide range of issues with both environmental and societal implications Provides a global review of the multiple roles of forest resources, utilizing case studies to illustrate management strategies and techniques INDICE: Part I: Geospatial based Forest Resources Mapping, Monitoring and Modelling 1.
