Spatial Uncertainty in Ecology: Implications for Remote Sensing and GIS Applications

The rapid growth in the use of geographic information systems, remote sensing platforms and spatial databases have made spatial data more av ailable for ecological and environmental analysis. Unfortunately, too little effort has focused on the appropriate use of such data and the role and depiction of uncertainty in resulting ecological models. This book presents various perspectives on uncertainty in spatial data and relates them explicitly to the needs of ecologists. It applies princi ples …
