Needs for regional vegetation information• Complexity and scope of current forest issues (sustainability, climate
change, etc.) are pushing technology to provide information that is:
– Consistent over large regions, detailed forest attributes, spatially explicit (mapped)... with trend information (monitoring)
• Can we marry two current technologies to better meet needs?
