Forest Management Information System

By M. Kiruba

The Forest Management Information System (FMIS) is envisaged as an integrated system which will be used to support the planning, implementation and monitoring of multi-objective forest management activities. The FMIS can be used for strategic, tactical and operational planning and implementation, and operational control in and across administrative units and levels of the organizational hierarchy. The components of the FMIS, which will necessarily be linked, are a Monitoring Information System (MIS), a Geographic Information System (GIS), and an Image Processing System. Vegetation cover characterization, fragmentation, disturbance and biological richness across the landscape have been organized in the form of Biodiversity Information System (BIS). The species database has been linked with above spatial details. BIS allows identification of gap areas, species / habitat relationship and helps in biodiversity conservation planning by setting priority areas. Thus this book is designed for scholars, researchers and government institutions.
