Forest Measurement & Mapping
- context of cost effectiveness and time consuming. Forests have important and vital global ecological as well as socio-economic recourses and they require a sustainable management. An attempt has been made in this research to monitor, record data as well as to have a systematic understanding of the forest map development and to map the existing forest coverage in context of cost effectiveness and time consumption.
- Forest managment requires reliableinventory data and the maps indicating current state of the forest area
- The problems involved in maintaining a sustained supply of forest recourse for the present day needs and future demands of the mankind have the forest managers conscious about the compelling need for national utilization of these recourses
- The conventional methods of forest recourses assessment and monitoring’s are time and cost-intensive. Many a time they do not match with the resource dynamism and hence, become obsolete by the time the results are available.
- The advent of remote sensing and geographic information system(GIS), and global positioning system (GPS) technologies has revolutionized the forest resources assessment, monitoring, management and has reduced the time and cost considerably
