Bibliography
Andres, Brad A. 1994. Coastal zone use by postbreeding shorebirds in northern Alaska. Journal of Wildlife Management 58:206–212. This study addresses the impact of oil development on shorebird habitats and discusses management implications. It uses a vegetation map derived from Landsat imagery.

Hansen, A. J., S. L. Garman, B. Marks AND D. L. Urban. 1993. An approach for managing vertebrate diversity across multiple-use landscapes. Ecological Applications 3: 481–496. Describes an approach to balancing commodity production with the needs of terrestrial vertebrates. The approach is demonstrated for a watershed in western Oregon, balancing timber production with habitats used by birds.

He, H. S., D. J. Mladenoff, V. C. Radeloff, and T. R. Crow. 1998. Integration of GIS data and classified satellite imagery for regional forest assessment. Ecological Applications 8:1072–1083. Demonstrates how satellite imagery and other spatial data can be combined to assess forest composition over a large region. The resulting maps could be used as input for modeling forest dynamics and to guide future management decisions.

The authors develop a model from forest inventory data and bear censuses to develop a map of suitable habitat for 12 states in the southern United States and evaluate the relative connection and isolation of habitat patches.

It illustrates examples from the eastern and western United States as wells as the Caribbean. The article discusses strategies for conservation efforts on a regional scale.

Wiser, S. K., R. K. Peet, and P. S. White. 1998. Prediction of rare-plant occurrence: A southern Appalachian example. Ecological Applications 8:909–920. Uses a combination of field-collected data and topographic characteristics to generate predictive equations for four species of rare plants. This analysis sought to understand factors influencing the distribution of these species so that additional populations might be discovered and important habitats protected. The utility of such models is critically examined.
