The Use of Remote Sensing, GIS, and Multivariate Vegetation Analyses to Explain the Distribution of Riparian Forest Communities at Multiple Spatial Scales

Abstract

Mollot will ask the question: Under what conditions should we restore conifer to stands currently dominated by hardwood in our effort to rehabilitate fish habitat? As a case study, she will consider the Cedar River watershed. She will review remote sensing at the macro scale, GIS at the meso scale, and multivariate vegetation analysis at the micro scale. She will discuss the management implications of this collective research.
