A new chapter entitled “Remote Sensing of Forest Damage by Diseases and Insects” was recently published in the book “Remote Sensing for Sustainability” (by CRC Press).
Chen, G., and R.K. Meentemeyer (2016). Remote Sensing of Forest Damage by Diseases and Insects. In Q. Weng (Ed.), Remote Sensing for Sustainability (pp. 145-162). Boca Raton, Florida: CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group.
The chapter is a review communication, which (i) summarizes the recent trends of remotely detecting forest disease and insect outbreaks, (ii) investigates the qualifications of remote sensing for studying the topic, (iii) provides a brief review of remote sensing algorithms, and (iv) discusses several remaining challenges.
