Before being used in scientific investigations and policy decisions, thematic maps
constructed from remotely sensed data should be subjected to a statistically rigorous …

Riparian Landscapes examines the ecological systems of streamside and floodplain areas
from the perspective of landscape ecology. The specific spatial pattern of riparian vegetation …

Projected climate warming will potentially have profound effects on the earth's biota,
including a large redistribution of tree species. We developed models to evaluate potential …

The theory and methods for attribute error and sensitivity analysis associated with map-
based suitability analysis are developed. In particular, this paper delineates the underlying …

As Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have developed and their applications have been
extended, the issue of uncertainty has become increasingly recognized. It is highlighted by …
