Product Description: Forests provide a large range of beneficial services, including tangible ones such as timber and recreation, and intangible services such as climate regulation, biodiversity, and watershed protection. On the other hand, forests can also be considered roadblocks to progress that occupy space more productively used for agriculture, making consideration of their regulating services crucial for balancing land use and forest loss...read more

Product Description: Remote sensing and GIS are increasingly used as tools for monitoring and managing forests. Remotely sensed and GIS data are now the data sources of choice for capturing, documenting, and understanding forest disturbance and landscape pattern...read more

Product Description: Servlets interact with databases. Servlets pull information from the database and deliver it in any format the user requests. For instance, if you wanted sales information about a particular title from all bookstores selling on the internet, a servlet would be able to grab that information and present it to you in the form you wanted...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
