Spatial Uncertainty in Ecology Implications for Remote Sensing and GIS Application

About this book

Applies principles and techniques from geography and other disciplines to ecological research, and thus delivers the tools of cartography, cognition, spatial statistics, remote sensing and computer sciences by way of spatial data.
