Linking Satellite Images to Land Use Activities: An Exploratory Study of Southern Indiana Non-Industrial Private Forests

Abstract

From p. 3: "To explore what factors influence NIPF owners' land use activities and resulting land cover, this study uses archival and interview data linked to GIS maps and remotely sensed images. The paper proceeds in five sections. Following these introductory remarks, prior research related to the topic is presented. Subsequently, data and methods are described. The next section discusses findings. Finally, concluding remarks are offered to summarize the analysis and highlight plans to perform additional remote sensing analysis."
